Why Arbitration?
Family Law arbitration is an adversarial process whereby you and your spouse seek to resolve your legal issues without going to court.  The arbitration process is conducted by a neutral, third party ‘Arbitrator’ who will listen to arguments from both sides and ultimately decide the outcome of your case. Arbitration is a private process that may involve non-legal professionals such as accountants, financial planners, and child advocates if children are involved.

When is Arbitration Worthwhile?
Arbitration may work in a situation where other legal methods have turned out to be unsuitable, yet you and your spouse are still keen to settle your legal issues without going to court.  You and your spouse can choose an arbitrator with expertise and experience relevant to your particular family situation. You can also determine the location of the arbitration sessions, which can be in person or virtual or some combination thereof; this begins a cooperation process that may serve as the foundation of a speedy resolution of all outstanding legal issues.

When is Arbitration Not Worthwhile
You have to be absolutely certain that Family Law Arbitration is the path you want to take, since once it begins neither you nor your spouse can withdraw once it has begun. And like it or not, both of you have to accept the final judgement of the arbitrator.

“It was just what we needed. Arbitrator Philip was the adult in the room we needed to get to the end. We were both mad at him until the end. He got us across the goal line!” H.W. (Tobermory ON)
