As you proceed through your divorce, you can attempt to reach your divorce settlement agreement using various methods, including mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law. While these types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can be beneficial in certain cases, they may not always be the best approach for reaching an agreement.
Sometimes, it can be in your best interests to forego ADR and rather have outstanding matters litigated in court. There are specific situations where litigation is a better choice to ensure you receive a fair divorce settlement:
- High-Value Divorces: If you and your spouse have investments, substantial cash savings, own multiple homes, or own a business, litigating the division of assets results in you receiving your fair share.
- Prevents non-disclosure of or hidden Finances and Assets: Litigating a divorce will uncover all finances and assets. This is especially important if you suspect the other party will attempt to hide finances and assets to avoid having to divide them equally.
