More and more family law practitioners are turning to arbitration as an alternative to the courts.

Arbitration offers the ability to schedule not only the date of your hearing but also the length of time a party may need in order to fully present their case. In the growing congestion of our superior courts, time or a guarantee of time is invaluable, yet often a scarce resource in the family law arena. Having a bit of input over scheduling can also be an accommodating feature for witnesses who are schoolteachers, family counselors and/or individuals or experts who may reside out of state.
