00:04
yes
00:05
actually the court mandates one specific
00:08
type of adr
00:09
and that is a mandatory settlement
00:11
conference and that’s where you get
00:12
together with an experienced attorney
00:14
such as myself i’ve been settlement
00:16
conference judge
00:18
for as long as i can remember and that’s
00:21
a person who sits down
00:22
and tries to get the people to agree
00:24
instead of going to trial on the issue
00:26
another way to have adr is to mediate
00:29
the dispute where again it’s
00:31
more of an informal setting where an
00:34
independent attorney or even judge helps
00:37
the parties to
00:38
try to come to an agreement there’s also
00:40
collaborative divorce
00:41
you take courses and are trained over
00:43
the course of three days and then you
00:44
take follow-up classes
00:46
on how to do a collaboration and that’s
00:49
a team type of divorce where everybody
00:51
is together and your attorney is your
00:54
attorney
00:55
but the attorneys try to act more as a
00:58
team to try to figure out different
01:00
solutions instead of
01:01
setting forth just one person’s side and
01:04
then part of that team also can be
01:06
mental health professionals as well as
01:08
financial advisor
01:09
so that everybody is on the same page
01:11
working towards
01:12
one solution particularly when it
01:14
concerns children
