At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we understand that the traditional legal process can be stressful and time-consuming, especially when it comes to resolving family law disputes. That's why we offer a range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, including mediation and collaborative divorce, to help our clients reach mutually satisfactory solutions without going to court.
Mediation is a form of ADR in which a neutral third party, known as the mediator, helps parties resolve conflicts or disputes through negotiation and communication. The mediator does not make a decision or take sides, but rather facilitates communication and helps the parties find common ground.
Mediation can be an effective and efficient way to resolve disputes in a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and support. It can be especially helpful when the parties want to maintain a relationship (such as in co-parenting situations) or when they want more control over the outcome of their dispute.
At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced mediators who can help facilitate the mediation process in a confidential, non-adversarial setting. We can help guide the parties through the negotiation process and work with them to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution to their dispute.
Collaborative divorce is another form of ADR that involves working with a team of professionals (including attorneys, financial advisors, and therapists) to resolve disputes and reach a mutually satisfactory settlement without going to court.
The collaborative process is focused on cooperation and problem-solving, rather than adversarial litigation. The parties and their attorneys sign a participation agreement pledging to work together in good faith to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution and to refrain from going to court.
Collaborative divorce can be an effective option for couples who want to avoid the stress and expense of litigation, and who are willing to work together to find solutions that meet their needs and the needs of their children.
At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced attorneys who are skilled in the collaborative process. We can work with you and your spouse to develop a customized approach to resolving your disputes, and help you navigate the process of reaching a mutually satisfactory settlement.
Arbitration is another form of ADR in which a neutral third party, known as the arbitrator, listens to both sides of the dispute and makes a binding decision. The arbitration process is similar to a trial, but it is usually faster, less formal, and less expensive than traditional litigation.
Arbitration can be an effective option for resolving disputes in a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and support. It can be especially helpful when the parties want a quicker resolution to their dispute or when they want a decision that is binding on both sides.
At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced arbitrators who can help facilitate the arbitration process in a fair and efficient manner. We can help you understand the arbitration process and your rights and options within it.
Early neutral evaluation is a process in which a neutral third party assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each side's case and provides a non-binding evaluation to help the parties reach a settlement. The early neutral evaluator does not make a decision or take sides, but rather provides an unbiased assessment of the case to help the parties understand the likely outcome if the case were to go to trial.
Early neutral evaluation can be an effective option for resolving disputes in a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and support. It can be especially helpful when the parties want to explore settlement options early in the process and avoid the time and expense of a trial.
At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced early neutral evaluators who can help facilitate the early neutral evaluation process in a confidential, non-adversarial setting. We can help you understand the process and your rights and options within it.
Settlement conferences are informal meetings with a neutral third party (the mediator) to try to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution to the dispute. Settlement conferences are typically held later in the litigation process, after the parties have exchanged discovery and are more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of their case.
The purpose of a settlement conference is to bring the parties together in a less formal setting to try to negotiate a settlement. The mediator does not make a decision or take sides, but rather helps facilitate communication and helps the parties find common ground.

At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced mediators who can help facilitate the settlement conference process in a confidential, non-adversarial setting. We can help you understand the process and your rights and options within it.
Parenting coordination is a process in which a neutral third party helps parents involved in a custody dispute develop a co-parenting plan and resolve disputes as they arise. The parenting coordinator does not make decisions or take sides, but rather helps facilitate communication and problem-solving between the parents.
Parenting coordination can be an effective option for resolving disputes in high-conflict custody cases, especially when the parties are unable to communicate effectively or make decisions on their own. It can help parents learn new communication and problem-solving skills and reduce the need for ongoing litigation.
At Helping Hand Family and Divorce Attorneys, we have trained and experienced parenting coordinators who can help facilitate the parenting coordination process in a confidential, non-adversarial setting. We can help you understand the process and your rights and options within it.
