When encountering these circumstances, it is important to note that there are different methods of divorce, and there are several that can be without the courtroom. If a couple can reach agreements without the assistance of the court, there are many options available to them. Here are some of the following divorce methods in New Jersey:
What is a litigated divorce?
Unfortunately, spouses that have gone through the divorce process through litigation have done so because they are incapable of reaching an agreement concerning their marital issues on their own. However, most usually attempt to avoid this process, as these findings are in the hands of the judge. This can comprise the division of their assets, child custody agreements, child support, and alimony. Furthermore, litigation is generally a long and expensive process that often leaves spouses unsatisfied. It is because of this that many spouses look at other possibilities.
How does divorce mediation work?
If a couple decides to divorce through mediation, it is accomplished with the aid of an unbiased third party. This person encourages civil conversations in a neutral, informal setting to ensure that both spouses can work together to reach an amicable agreement regarding their marital issues. Conversations during this process can cover topics including child custody, child support, alimony, and the division of assets. This allows both parties to be heard in order for compromises to be made. While both spouses do not always get everything they want, they can at least have a say in the outcome of their future. Not only does this process relieve some tension, but it can also help spouses save money during their divorce.
What is arbitration?
The method of arbitration can sometimes sound similar to mediation. But recognize that there is one significant difference. Spouses will select an arbitrator instead of a mediator. While this individual is also a neutral, third party, this person assumes a role similar to a judge. Instead of the spouses coming to decisions on their own together, they raise their concerns to the arbitrator who then votes on the terms of their divorce.
