Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Tucson lawyer providing divorce Arbitration, Mediation, Negotiation and Collaborative law services in Family Law and Divorce Cases in Tucson, Arizona

For most people, the first step when getting divorced is working with a divorce lawyer or family law lawyer. There can be many issues in a divorce that will have to be litigated as the parties are unable to agree on some issues and we have the experience to try those issues. This experience and knowledge also gives us the insight into various techniques short of litigation to resolve these issues through alternative methods of resolving disputes. These alternative resolution methods allow the parties to retain control over decisions affecting their own lives and those of their children, which are otherwise surrendered to the court in litigation. These resolution methods also show new ways to communicate between parties who believe they no longer can communicate. The primary tools in this alternate arsenal are:

Negotiation
Mediation
Arbitration
Collaborative Law

A combination of any of the three above alternative dispute resolution methods may also be used. By giving a third party the ability to mediate and arbitrate decisions regarding your domestic legal matter both time and money are saved by the parties. No matter what avenue we choose to settle your divorce, as your divorce attorney we are dedicated to get you through the divorce process with all of the ease and efficiency that you expect.
