What is Family Arbitration in Dublin?
Family Arbitration is a legally recognised alternative to the public Court process. Rather than attending a public Court such as the District Court or the Circuit Court or High Court, parties in a family law matter present their issues to a neutral and independent Arbitrator to address sensitive issues including child access, maintenance and the division of property. Privacy and respect are at the heart of arbitration.
Family Arbitration is confidential, faster, less stressful and allows families to preserve dignity while reaching legally binding outcomes. These outcomes are called Arbitral Awards. Arbitral Awards are enforceable in Ireland and can only be challenged in very limited circumstances.
