Alternative Dispute Resolution
In Washington State, many divorce cases settle through a process known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), more commonly called mediation. In fact, the court will likely require you to participate in ADR before proceeding to trial.
At Whitaker Kent Ordell PLLC, we use ADR to resolve disputes whenever possible. This process is usually less expensive and less emotionally taxing than a drawn-out trial. Additionally, ADR often enables clients to implement more creative solutions than a trial court. That level of control is of particular benefit to parties with significant financial holdings.
