Child Arbitration Services in Plymouth

What is Arbitration?

Child arbitration is an alternative way to resolve disputes involving children after a relationship breakdown, providing a quicker and clearer outcome than traditional court proceedings. For individuals and families in Plymouth, arbitration offers a legally binding decision without the need for lengthy hearings. Ria Cohen Family Law is proud to offer this service as part of the Family Children Arbitration Scheme, ensuring that parents can reach fair resolutions regarding their children’s arrangements efficiently. The process is designed to be less formal than court, while still delivering enforceable decisions that protect your children’s best interests.

Why Choose Child Arbitration in Plymouth?

Opting for child arbitration in Plymouth gives separating couples the ability to resolve issues concerning their children without going through the often slow and stressful court process. At Ria Cohen Family Law, we understand the importance of reaching decisions that are in the best interests of your children, and our arbitration service is part of a well-established scheme approved by the Institute of Family Law Arbitrators. This means you can expect the same level of legal enforceability as a court order but with significantly reduced stress and time commitments.

How Child Arbitration Works for Plymouth Clients

Typically, court proceedings involve multiple hearings that can take months, especially when parents are unable to agree on key decisions regarding their children. Child arbitration provides a streamlined alternative, with decisions often made in just one hearing. Whether it’s deciding on custody arrangements, visitation schedules, or parental responsibilities, arbitration can help parents in Plymouth reach resolutions quickly. More complex child-related matters may require two hearings, but these are always scheduled in close succession to avoid unnecessary delays.

The Benefits of Child Arbitration for Plymouth Couples

The costs of child arbitration are shared between both parties, making it a much more affordable option compared to traditional court proceedings. This cost-efficiency, combined with the speed of the process, makes arbitration an ideal solution for many parents in Plymouth. Plus, the hearings can be arranged at short notice, either via Zoom, Skype, or in person, allowing for greater flexibility. Especially with current delays in the court system, child arbitration offers an effective way to move forward without being held back by procedural bottlenecks.
