Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is defined as a means of settling a dispute without litigation, or a court battle. ADR is an alternative to litigation and can save individuals time and money and can reduce the burden on the very busy court system. Alternative dispute resolution can come in several forms including mediation, early neutral evaluation, negotiation, and arbitration. Minnesota courts actually strongly encourage individuals and their attorneys to solve issues via alternative dispute resolution before proceeding with a court proceeding. AMS Mediation specializes in offering those in the Minnesota area a thorough and effective option for mediation and dispute resolution services that will empower you to achieve a fair and equitable solution to your unique situation.
Comprehensive Alternative Dispute Resolution Services
Divorce is a very common issue successfully settled using mediation or an alternative dispute resolution service. Depending on your unique situation, you and your divorcing spouse may benefit from divorce mediation, custody mediation, an early neutral evaluation, or parenting consultant to settle issues such as the determination of parenting time (also known as custody arrangements), division of property and negotiation of spousal and/or child support payment.
You and your partner know your family and your personal situation best. The success of alternative dispute resolution is based on this simple fact. Leaving all major decisions related to your divorce and/or custody issues to a court leads can lead to long term problems and conflict between the two parties, less overall satisfaction with the settlement and even a higher rate of need for adjustments by the court. Mediation leaves the decision making power to the two parties, which actually decreases overall conflict and finds a solution built on strong communication and compromise, which lays a foundation for future co-parenting and other interaction.
