This Court encourages parties to resolve disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). This is a process that is designed to help parties to resolve conflicts in a way that is less time consuming, expensive, and adversarial than court action. Common examples of ADR are:
- Mediation
- Conciliation
- Family Dispute Resolution (FDR)
- Arbitration
- Lawyer-assisted Negotiation
This article discusses how to use Conciliation to negotiate with your former partner following separation or divorce. This type of formal meeting is called a Conciliation Conference.
