Alternative Resolutions Of Child Custody Disputes

Last updated on October 22, 2024

Getting a divorce is often a traumatic, emotional experience — a life-changing event that is tough enough to get through without the prospect of having to go to trial to decide who gets the house, the car and the kids. Divorce and other family law cases, however, can often be resolved through methods other than trial.

At Bull, Reinhardt, and Bowkett, our experienced family law attorneys can help you resolve your divorce, child custody or other family law matter outside of court. With deft negotiation skills, our team of professionals can help you get what you need through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as pre-suit mediation, arbitration, negotiated settlement agreements and collaborative family law.

Not Every Divorce Needs To Go To Court

Many divorces can be resolved through negotiations between the parties in advance of trial. An experienced lawyer can help you settle many outstanding issues between you and your spouse before your case ever gets in front of a judge. By acting as a buffer between you, your spouse and his or her attorney, a skilled family law attorney can act as your advocate to ensure that you get what’s yours and give up no more than necessary.

With over 45 years of combined experience, our dedicated family law attorneys are highly skilled in the art of negotiating settlements in divorce and family law cases. We can help you reach a resolution that satisfies your needs and the needs of your children and sets you on track for a happier future.

Is ADR Right For You?

Alternative dispute resolutions are preferred by many of our clients who have ongoing disputes regarding property division, spousal support, child custody and child support. ADR may be right for you if:

  • You want to avoid the uncertainty and cost of trial
  • You want to play an active role in resolving important issues
  • You want to resolve your dispute in a less adversarial manner
  • You and your spouse are willing — through your attorneys — to resolve your outstanding issues together
  • You wish to get answers and move forward more quickly — and with less stress — than a standard trial will allow

“My wife and I had to go to Asheville from Alabama and didn’t know anyone in North Carolina and had to have an attorney to do some paperwork for us. We found this awesome lawyer who agreed to help us. He did the work and even went to the Courthouse to check and see if we needed anything else.

If everyone in Asheville was as professional and friendly as he was, it would be a great place to stay. Thank you Mr. Adam W. Bull.”

– James & Rose, child custody clients

“With less than 24 hours before trial, I contacted Attorney Bull hoping for a miracle. To my surprise, he was able to meet with me immediately & begin working on my case. Adam was pleasant, intelligent, and to the point. In the courtroom he secured me the best outcome possible, with what looked like little ease. If you’re thinking about using Adam Bull, you can’t go wrong.”
