Routes to Resolution
There are several routes available to resolve family law issues. Teichert Family Law will take the time to understand your specific situation, and will assist you in selecting the best path forward, including:
Negotiation
Due to cost, litigation should always be considered a last resort. Negotiation is often the first path to consider, where the parties negotiate outside of court, either with or without counsel, in efforts to resolve their family law issues. If a resolution is reached, the terms are formalized into a domestic contract, such as a separation agreement.

Mediation/Arbitration
If negotiation is not appropriate or is unsuccessful, parties often consider alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or mediation/arbitration. In these separate processes, a neutral third-party with specialized training assists the parties in reaching a settlement voluntarily (mediation), or by granting the third-party the authority to decide an issue (arbitration).
Litigation
While court may not always be the quickest or the most cost-effective manner to resolve family law issues, it is sometimes required where one party is unreasonable or unresponsive.
Unbundled Services
Legal services for specific tasks, including document preparation or consultation, allowing clients to handle parts or all of their family law matter at a lower cost.
