In this episode, Dianne and Alina debunk the common belief that separation inevitably leads to court. While emotions can run high and threats of litigation are often made, the vast majority of family law matters are resolved without ever stepping into a courtroom. They explain how Family Dispute Resolution (FDR), alongside legal negotiation, helps most families reach agreements, saving time, money and emotional energy. Court is usually a last resort, not the default.
