Wisconsin Family Law Arbitration: What To Know
Family law arbitration in Wisconsin is a private process where a neutral third party, the arbitrator, makes decisions on disputes. It offers a less expensive, less contentious way to resolve family law matters. Here is how the family law arbitration process typically works:
- Agree to arbitrate: Both parties agree to resolve their disputes through arbitration.
- Select an arbitrator: Choose a professional, neutral family dispute arbitrator for your sessions.
- Hearing: Both parties and their counsel present their cases.
- Final decision: Finally, the arbitrator makes a decision, which can be binding or nonbinding.
Arbitration can be binding or nonbinding. In binding arbitration, the decision is final and enforceable. Nonbinding arbitration allows parties to seek further legal action if they are unsatisfied with the outcome.
Arbitration: Is It Right For Us?
Family law arbitration can resolve a broad variety of issues. Some of the most commonly arbitrated disputes involve:
- Asset and property division
- Spousal maintenance (alimony)
- Child custody and placement
- Child support
- Post-decree modifications
Arbitration may not be suitable for cases involving domestic violence or child protection concerns, where court oversight is crucial. When you sit down with a family law attorney, you can get a better idea of whether to pursue arbitration, mediation or traditional divorce litigation.
