Cheaper, Amicable and Time Saving

A mediated divorce or an arbitrated divorce can cost far less money and avoid the lengthy process of going to court. Additionally, the proceedings can be kept confidential, with records sealed to the public. These differences can be a huge benefit for people who are divorcing. Our principal lawyer, John Burns is an experienced mediator and arbitrator regularly recommended by the Dakota County courts and attorneys in the metro area for people seeking Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Divorce Mediation is the Most Common ADR Approach to Divorce.

Divorce mediation occurs when two partners voluntarily submit to a divorce process that is mediated by a lawyer or other professional. It is designed to be low-conflict and used by people who are divorcing, partners who are unmarried, or former spouses who need to mediate other issues. Family law agreements are crafted by the mediating lawyer, in this case, John Burns, who is recognized throughout the state of Minnesota for his ability to reach agreements in complex situations with potentially high conflict disputes.

Divorce Arbitration is Different from Mediation

The arbitrator has the same authority to make divorce decisions as a judge. Both sides are held to the decision legally. The same advantages apply as in mediation. Sometimes, people seek an arbitrator to decide disputed issues that they cannot resolve and don’t want to leave up to the court to decide.

Mediation and Arbitration or Med-Arb, as it is known, continues to grow in popularity as a way to reach agreement outside of the courtroom. This is especially useful when people want to have control over their divorce and solve issues of asset division, family support and custody issues quickly and with minimum conflict.

Mediation and arbitration are growing areas of law and John Burns and the Burns Law Office are eager and skilled at helping people resolve their divorces amicably in this manner.
