Delaware County Arbitration Attorney
Arbitration Laws
Arbitration is a method used to settle disputes between two or more parties. It is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) typically used when the parties involved cannot resolve their differences through negotiation or mediation.
Arbitration is typically conducted by a panel of arbitrators who will hear both sides of the dispute and render a decision. The arbitrator's decision is usually final and binding unless one of the parties involved objects to the conclusion and requests a review by a court.
One thing that makes Delaware County so unique is its commitment to arbitration. This process is an alternative to traditional litigation that can be used to resolve disputes. It is often faster and cheaper than going to court, allowing parties to maintain control over the outcome of their case.
If you are involved in a dispute that you believe could be resolved through arbitration, you may want to consider hiring an arbitration lawyer.

The Divorce Arbitration Process
Divorce arbitration is when divorcing couples agree to choose an arbitrator. This singular arbitrator is presented with the couple's issues that are preventing resolution. In arbitration, divorcing couples may define the procedure and length of the arbitrator's decision. After the hearing, the arbitrator renders a decision, called an award, on the specific disputed issues.
The Arbitrator's Award, in most cases, is final and cannot be appealed, which makes divorce arbitration a popular choice for couples who want to avoid going to court. Arbitration can take the place of a trial in an adversarial divorce, or it can be used in collaborative divorce or mediation when an impasse has been reached.
Types of Arbitration Cases
Arbitration is a dispute resolution process that is for various cases. It is a voluntary process, so both parties must agree to arbitrate before it can proceed. Once the parties have agreed to arbitrate, they will select an arbitrator (or a panel of arbitrators) to hear the case and render a decision.
Arbitration is used for disputes involving contracts, employment, consumer complaints, and even personal injury claims. It is often used as an alternative to litigation, as it can be faster and less expensive than going to court. In addition, arbitration is often binding, meaning that the parties must comply with the arbitrator's decision.
Arbitration can be handled in the following ways:
Judicial arbitration is a statutory procedure in which cases are directed to nonbinding arbitration before trial, designed to expedite and streamline the resolution of actions through an arbitrator’s neutral evaluation. Court-ordered arbitrations are non-binding, meaning that either party who is dissatisfied with the arbitrator’s award may request a new trial. By engaging in this type of arbitration, no party has given up any constitutional rights, since the process is non-binding.
Contractual arbitration is a legal process in which two parties settle a dispute that has arisen from or is related to a contract. This process is based on a pre-dispute agreement between the parties, in which they have agreed that, in the event of a dispute, the matter will be resolved through arbitration instead of going to court. In most cases, contractual arbitration is legally binding, meaning that the outcome of the arbitration must be followed.
Arbitration can be set up in different ways, but most of the time, an arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators will listen to both sides of the story before making a decision. The award from the arbitrator is usually final unless there are exceptional circumstances. In contractual arbitration, there is usually a set of rules or procedures written into the arbitration clause that says how everything will go.
Arbitration by stipulation is a process whereby the parties in a dispute agree to arbitrate their disagreement after it has arisen. They then select a set of rules and procedures to guide the proceedings. Arbitration by stipulation is generally binding, and the arbitrator’s award is usually final except in extraordinary circumstances.
