When should I use dispute resolution?

When should I consider using dispute resolution instead of going to court?

Dispute resolution is often a quicker and less expensive alternative to court. You should consider it when you want to maintain a relationship with the other party, when the dispute is relatively minor, or when you seek a more flexible solution.

What are the different types of dispute resolution?

The main types include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law. Each has its own process and benefits.

How do I choose the right method for my situation?

Consider factors like the nature of the dispute, the relationship with the other party, costs, and how much control you want over the outcome.

Can you give me an example of a situation where mediation would be better?

Sure! Mediation is ideal for family disputes, like divorce, where maintaining a relationship is important for co-parenting.
