Divorce Arbitration in Albuquerque
Is Divorce Arbitration Right for You?
A divorce arbitration is a legal decision voluntarily agreed to by both parties of a divorcing couple. The process requires the divorcing couple; their divorce lawyers; and an independent party, a certified arbitrator, who acts as a sort of private judge.
In divorce arbitration, divorce lawyers present your cases to the arbitrator, who listens to the facts as your divorce lawyers present them. You and your spouses’ divorce lawyers are free to present evidence and plead your cases, and your case’s arbitrator will help you to communicate with each other and identify and address each party’s concerns and wishes.
Once the arbitrator has heard from both sides—concerning the divorcing couple’s property, children, and so on—he or she will then make a ruling, just as a judge would.
Because individuals have a Constitutional right to access to the Courts, the Court cannot force an individual into binding arbitration, but it can require him or her to participate in mediation (where there is no requirement that the case settle). It’s extremely uncommon for a Court to compel parties to participate in non-binding arbitration.
Arbitration is an expensive process and not worth doing if it is not binding, because generally, one party will like the ruling and one party will not. However, the parties can agree to participate in binding arbitration by entering a Stipulated Arbitration Order, and if they do, then the arbitration ruling will be binding whether or not the parties like it. Our Albuquerque divorce attorneys have resolved many divorces through arbitration, and understand what steps need to be taken to secure a favorable outcome.
