Montgomery County Alternative Dispute Resolution Attorneys
Experienced and Highly Strategic Advocates to Get You the Results You Are Looking For
At Shemtob Draganosky Taylor Stein, PC, our attorneys believe in the process of resolving family law issues that arise in a divorce proceeding without the necessity of litigation, if possible. This is called alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR includes processes such as negotiation, collaborative law, arbitration, and mediation. All of our attorneys are skilled negotiators and practitioners in arbitration, and one of our partners is trained in interdisciplinary collaborative divorce.
If ADR is not possible, our family law attorneys are aggressive and seasoned negotiators and litigators who will advocate to achieve the best possible result in your case. However, with many options for ADR, we can often resolve even the most adversarial situations out of court.
Alternative dispute resolution may be used in all kinds of family law cases and is often well-suited for complex cases, such as high-asset matters, because it provides opportunity for more flexibility. It can also be useful in smaller cases, because it may allow for greater cost control. The best method for your case depends on your situation and you should discuss your individual options with counsel.
Contact our team at Shemtob Draganosky Taylor Stein, PC online or at (215) 544-3974 to learn which ADR method works best for you.
The Negotiated Agreement
Negotiation involves a series of discussions through which both spouses work together to reach an agreement, a process facilitated by skilled and experienced attorneys. Before entering into direct negotiation with your spouse, it is essential to have an initial consultation with an attorney to learn about your spousal and parental rights, which assets may be divided, and how child and spousal support might be calculated.
Negotiation can occur face-to-face, by phone, in writing, or by a combination of those methods of communication. The negotiation method requires some compromise from both sides, but it can be a cost-effective way to resolve issues without having to battle it out in a heated trial. After reaching an agreement, one party will have counsel draft a written property settlement agreement for the court’s approval.
