Your options

  • Mediation

    Mediation is an effective way of resolving disputes without need for costly contested court proceedings. It involves using an independent third party – a specialist family mediator – to help the parties reach a fair and acceptable outcome.

  • Collaborative Law

    In the collaborative process, the clients and their lawyers work together in a series of meetings to achieve a fair and mutually acceptable solution to the issues in dispute.

  • Arbitration

    Arbitration is another form of Alternative Dispute Resolution and involves the parties entering into an agreement under which they appoint an arbitrator to adjudicate their dispute and make an arbitral ‘award’. That award is legally binding.

  • Private FDRs

    A Financial Dispute Resolution Appointment (FDR) provides an opportunity for you to negotiate within the framework of Court proceedings and follows the exchange of financial disclosure. The FDR is designed to assist the parties narrow the issues between them and, if possible, reach an agreement.

  • Solicitor-led Negotiation

    In some cases, negotiations are conducted via the solicitors representing each of you, often in writing. You will alongside your solicitor throughout the negotiations to ensure that your objectives are met and that you position yourself fairly and sensibly in the negotiations.

  • Round Table Meetings

    A Round Table Meeting, at which both parties are usually represented, is designed to help you reach an agreement, whether in relation to financial matters or arrangements for the children, following discussion and negotiation.

  • Court

    In some cases, whether driven by a need for urgent resolution, or because alternative dispute resolution has been unsuccessful, an application to Court is necessary.
