Family Issues/Divorce and ADR
Families face conflicts for which they can often benefit from ADR, generally mediation. Divorces, separations, and custody or child support issues are common conflicts that can be addressed by ADR. There are also disputes over how to care for aged or disabled family members; how to allocate real property left by deceased family members, and many other issues.
