MediationGood people frequently face difficult problems. Individuals and families involved in family law disputes know all too well that the time, expense, and emotional impact involved in a lawsuit exact a costly price even if the case settles. Most family law disputes, including child custody, placement, child support, visitation, and marital property can be resolved without going to court. As court dockets have become more congested, there has been a greater focus on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques, such as mediation. Mediation is a process in which a third-party neutral, whether one mediator or more, acts as a facilitator to assist in resolving a dispute between two or more parties. It is a non-adversarial approach to conflict resolution, where the parties generally communicate directly; the role of the mediator is to facilitate communication between the parties, assist them in focusing on the real issues of the dispute, and generate options for settlement. ADR provides a viable option for those who prefer to stay out of court and has many potential advantages:

Collaborative LawThe public, attorneys, and families involved in divorce actions have become increasingly dissatisfied with the limited alternatives available for resolving the conservatorship, possession, and financial issues present in a divorce. Collaborative law addresses the proven need for peaceful resolution of custody, placement, and financial issues, through an out-of-court, problem-solving approach. Utilizing collaborative divorce in a family law action involves a commitment to settling matters without resort to litigation or threats of litigation. The lawyers chosen by the parties are retained to help them reach a settlement and act more as advisors than as lead negotiators or litigators. The object is for clients to keep control of the process with the lawyers present as resources. If there is no settlement, then the parties must retain different lawyers to handle the litigation. Ms. Greene has received special training in collaborative law and is a member of the Alliance of Collaborative Family Law Attorneys.
