Guidelines on litigious & consensual processes

At Clements Jeffersons, we understand that family law matters often involve deeply personal issues, and each case is unique.

Whether you are dealing with a divorce, child custody dispute, or other family-related matters, it’s crucial to understand the available legal processes, especially when it comes to litigious (court-based) and consensual (alternative dispute resolution) approaches.

As experienced family law attorneys, we guide our clients through both litigious and consensual legal processes, ensuring that their interests are protected and helping them achieve the most favorable outcome possible in their particular situation.

Collaborative law is a consensual process where both parties and their attorneys work together to reach a resolution outside of court. The goal of collaborative law is to resolve issues through cooperative negotiation rather than litigation. This process is ideal for cases where both parties are committed to working together to find mutually beneficial solutions. It is typically used for:

Divorce: Negotiating property division, support, and custody arrangements.
Financial Issues: Working out financial matters in divorce cases without the need for court intervention.

In collaborative law, both parties must agree that if the process breaks down and litigation becomes necessary, the attorneys will withdraw, and the parties will have to find new representation. This approach encourages cooperation and open communication.

Arbitration is a more formal process where an arbitrator (often a retired judge or experienced lawyer) hears both sides of the dispute and makes a legally binding decision. While arbitration is similar to litigation, it is generally faster and more private. Arbitration can be a good option when mediation and negotiation have failed, but the parties still want to avoid a full court trial.

Arbitration may be used for:

Divorce Settlements: When the parties are close to an agreement but need an arbitrator to resolve remaining issues.
Custody and Support Disputes: When parents cannot agree on terms of custody or child support and want an expedited, binding decision.
