Children Arbitration

What is Children Law Arbitration?

Children Arbitration gives families the opportunity to resolve disputes concerning parental responsibility and other issues involving the welfare of children.

Arbitration can help resolve the following disputes:

• Generally, any issue between parents or other persons holding parental responsibility or a sufficient interest in a child?s present or future welfare (with the exception being cases involving the removal of a child from the jurisdiction).
• Where a child should live including shared living arrangements.
• Visiting arrangements including holiday time to be spent with a nonresidential parent.
• Disputes concerning routine and non-life threatening medical treatment.
