Alternative to Divorce Court
Settling Out Of Court
There are many options to settling out of court in the case of an uncontested divorce
Rather than going through a lengthy, emotional and expensive divorce procedure, some couples agree to settle their divorce without going to court and there are several options available to individuals seeking divorce.
Mediation
The mediator, a neutral third party, can help you reach an agreement on a variety of issues, including support payments, the division of property, and child custody and access. Mediators, unlike judges or arbitrators, do not decide cases or impose settlements
Arbitration
Arbitrators, like mediators, are neutral third parties. However, unlike mediation, parties who wish to arbitrate must agree to be bound by the decision made by the arbitrator
Collaborative Family Law
Collaborative lawyers assist parties in negotiating a resolution of their dispute(s) in a principled and respectful fashion without going to court. Both parties and their lawyers sign a contract committing to this process in advance.
Using a lawyer
You and your spouse/partner should each have your own lawyer. A lawyer can help you resolve your issues without going to court. If you have a low income or are on social assistance, you may qualify for legal aid, which can help pay for some or all of your legal costs.
