Divorce Arbitration Services for Amicable Resolutions
McKinley Irvin offers arbitration services for family law issues, providing a private, efficient alternative to traditional courtroom proceedings. Our arbitrators are skilled in resolving complex family matters such as divorce, child custody, and financial settlements when the parties involved have yet to agree.
McKinley Irvin arbitration services help clients receive fair and impartial resolutions tailored to their unique circumstances, reducing the emotional and financial stress often associated with family law conflicts.
There are many benefits to utilizing family law arbitration:
- Confidential: Arbitration proceedings are private, protecting sensitive information from being included in public court records.
- Efficient: Arbitration typically resolves disputes faster than traditional court litigation.
- Cost-Effective: Arbitration can be less expensive than prolonged court battles.
- Flexibility: Parties have more control over scheduling and procedural rules, tailoring the process to their needs.
- Final: Arbitrators provide final decisions in your family law case after carefully reviewing all the evidence and circumstances. Decisions in arbitration are binding and typically not subject to appeal, offering a conclusive resolution.

Experienced And Trusted Professionals
Our arbitrators’ qualifications include experience as attorneys, former judges, Pro Tem commissioners, and trained mediators who are well-suited to provide knowledgeable and fair resolutions in family law matters.

Is Mediation Available?
Yes. That option is available if parties prefer to address their disputes via traditional mediation. Please refer to our Mediation page. Mediation provides an opportunity for parties to resolve matters by agreement. Resolutions reached by agreement have been shown to provide a more holistic approach and a higher likelihood of parties being willing to abide by the orders because they created them by agreement.
Is Mediation/Arbitration Available?
Absolutely. The mediation/arbitration hybrid is a popular new option, providing parties “the best of both worlds.”
In mediation/arbitration, parties first attempt to resolve disputed issues by agreement. If successful, the parties enter into an enforceable settlement agreement. The settlement agreement is then drafted into appropriate orders by the parties and entered with the court.
If, as sometimes happens, the parties cannot resolve any/all disputed issues, they can agree to submit the remaining issues to the mediator for a ruling that resolves the remaining issues. Thus, the mediator becomes an arbitrator. Having heard all the information and reviewed all documents, the mediator is uniquely positioned to make binding rulings on any remaining issues. This saves the parties the costs, time, and the stress of “starting over.”
