Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law
How can we avoid going to court for divorce and other family law issues?
Most family law matters can be resolved outside of court through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, collaborative law, and arbitration.
What is mediation?
Mediation is a common method for resolving family law disputes, where both parties meet with a trained neutral mediator to facilitate discussions. Typically, mediation involves 3-5 sessions, but complexity may alter the duration. It’s advisable to consult a solicitor before mediation to understand your rights, and any agreements reached should be reviewed by a solicitor before acceptance.
What is collaborative law?
Collaborative law involves a structured negotiation process with both parties and their solicitors present. All parties sign an agreement ensuring that nothing discussed can be used in future court proceedings, promoting a cooperative resolution.
What is family arbitration?
In family arbitration, parties appoint an independent arbitrator to review their dispute and make a decision. While it involves preparing and presenting your case, it is private, often quicker, and typically less costly than court proceedings.
How can I ensure my ex-partner meets child maintenance obligations?
Start by attempting to resolve the situation amicably. If that fails, you may need to apply to court for enforcement. For additional costs like school fees, amicable negotiations are recommended first; otherwise, court involvement may be necessary.
Can Child Arrangement Orders be changed?
Yes, you can apply to a court to vary a Child Arrangements Order if you can demonstrate that the change is in your child’s best interests. Negotiating changes with your former partner is also possible, but any agreement must be formalized through the court to be legally binding.
