Arbitration

Arbitration in California Family Law

Private Decision-Making by a Neutral Arbitrator

When spouses cannot reach agreement but wish to avoid the courtroom, arbitration offers a faster, more private alternative to litigation. At Nijmeh Law, P.C., we help families resolve high-stakes legal issues through arbitration when mediation is not effective.

What Is Arbitration?

In arbitration, both parties agree to submit their disputes to a neutral third-party arbitrator who hears arguments, reviews evidence, and then makes a legally binding decision—similar to a judge.

When Is Arbitration Used?

• Property division disputes
• Spousal support disagreements
• Business valuations or financial conflicts
• Enforceability of agreements
  
  

Why Choose Arbitration?

• Faster than court
• Confidential proceedings
• Flexible process and scheduling
• Binding decisions made by a family law expert
