Med-arb is a combination of mediation and arbitration.

Med-arb is a wise choice if you and your spouse are far apart on some issues, but you want to attempt to work together in reaching an agreement. Arbitration ensures that all issues will be resolved in the event that mediation is unsuccessful.

Although mediators and arbitrators generally charge hourly rates between $300 – $500, med-arb is a cost-effective alternative to a trial, which usually costs tens of thousands of dollars for each party. Court is unpredictable and delays are common. Med-arb provides parties with more privacy and control over how their personal disputes are resolved.
