The Benefits of Arbitration

January 11, 2017 by West Coast ADR

When it comes to divorce, many people may imagine two spouses standing in front of a judge airing their grievances. However, couples in British Columbia have several choices, allowing them to find the process that fits best with their circumstances and their post-divorce goals. While there are pros and cons to litigation, mediation and arbitration, many find arbitration a better solution than going to court.

One of the benefits of arbitration is the flexibility. Instead of being at the mercy of a judge’s timetable, arbitration is scheduled at a time that is convenient for all involved. This often means your dispute is resolved faster than if you waited for a trial date. You also get to choose the arbitrator so you can be assured that he or she has extensive experience with family law. In court, you have no choice and no guarantee that the judge has a family law background.

Unlike mediation, at the end of an arbitration, a decision is always reached. However, you may not have the control over the decision that you might in a mediation. This is why many people choose arbitration when they have reached an impasse in mediation and need an objective outsider to reach a solution.

Those in British Columbia who can’t decide which method of divorce is best can also use a combination of mediation and arbitration. If this is something you are considering, West Coast ADR Law Group offers lawyers, mediators and arbitrators to help you resolve your divorce disputes in a manner that benefits your family. Many find that choosing alternative methods to litigation leaves them in a healthier, more positive place after their divorce.
