Alternative Dispute Resolution Guiding Families Through Life's Challenges for Over 3 Decades

Burnsville Alternative Dispute Resolution Attorney

Burns Law Office Can Help You Avoid Going to Trial

As more people turn to mediation, fewer and fewer divorce cases are going to trial. Through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), divorcing couples can find a mutually beneficial resolution without having to go through the stress and heartache of litigation. ADR also gives you more control over the outcome of your divorce and prevents judges from making decisions with which you may not agree.

At Burns Law Office, our alternative dispute resolution lawyer is a experienced mediator. For over 25 years, we have helped divorcing couples in the Minneapolis metro area and throughout Minnesota reach successful resolutions.

Control the outcome of your divorce through alternative dispute resolution. Contact us at (952) 260-6376 for a free consultation.

Types of ADR & How They Can Help You

One of the most significant benefits of ADR is regaining control over how your divorce is resolved. Even in tense situations, careful alternative dispute resolution can help you reach common ground, allowing for a more satisfying resolution than if all the decisions were left up to a judge.

The three types of ADR are:

  • Mediation: Mediation involves meeting with your former partner before a neutral mediator. The mediator facilitates discussion between you and your spouse while maintaining an environment that allows for productive negotiation.
  • Social early neutral evaluation: Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) is an alternative to mediation that both individuals must agree to participate in. Social ENE is focused on issues related to child custody, child support, and parenting time.
  • Financial early neutral evaluation: Financial ENE deals specifically with the financial resolution of your divorce.
