Kitchener family law lawyers and accredited family law mediators with over 40 years of expertise in helping individuals and families resolve disputes without going to court.
A separation and divorce does not have to be adversarial. It is possible for you to achieve an amicable resolution to your family law dispute that protects your interests without waiving your rights.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provides separating and divorcing families with alternatives to resolving disputes without going to court. ADR provides greater opportunity for collaborative communication, informed decision-making and solutions that assist you in working towards an amicable resolution without the need for a costly and emotionally draining court process.
Sherman Law LLP has over 40 years of experience helping individuals and families resolve disputes involving separation, divorce, parenting, child support, spousal support, and property. Our lawyers use counsel-assisted negotiation, family mediation, and collaborative divorce to help clients resolve disputes without resorting to formal court dispute resolution.
We are experienced negotiators and accredited family mediators that understand how harmful court proceedings can be to a family and the importance of finding a way to have discussions and resolve disputes without causing hurt to the people involved.
Alternative Dispute Resolution refers to processes that can help people resolve legal disputes without relying exclusively on traditional court litigation.
In family law, ADR provides a structured environment for separating spouses and parents to discuss their concerns, understand their options and work toward agreements concerning their family and finances.
ADR helps families resolve disputes without going to court, including:
The goal is to find lasting resolution that is legally informed, practical, cost-effective, and appropriate for the individuals and families involved.
