Often when clients hire an attorney they believe their issues are so difficult, they will most likely end up in court. But attorneys can provide alternatives to their clients. One such alternative for complex divorce or support issues is private arbitration. This alternative to court can be extremely beneficial to clients in a divorce.
Arbitration may be warranted in many different instances. Perhaps one party owns a business and does not want information regarding the business to be public or scrutinized by a judge. Another reason for the arbitration would be if there are very complex issues involving multiple forensic experts or appraisers. Finally, arbitration is helpful when the parties want to conclude their matters without waiting for hearing dates, appeals and multiple trials.
