Gallery Magazine published Alexandra’s expert guide on Non-Court Dispute Resolution (NCDR), providing couples with practical alternatives to traditional court proceedings for resolving family disputes.
“There is a broadly accepted principle that it is better to settle a dispute outside of court. NCDR can save time and costs and of course the couple are able to choose the type of NCDR that they wish to engage in.”
The comprehensive guide outlines three key approaches available in Jersey: traditional mediation through organisations like Family Mediation Jersey, lawyer-led mediation with qualified legal mediators, and Private FDR/DRA where couples can choose their own neutral decision-maker.
Alexandra emphasises how these alternative methods offer higher settlement rates, reduced stress, and allow couples to maintain greater control over their outcomes. The article particularly highlights Private FDR for financial disputes and Private DRA for children matters as highly effective alternatives to lengthy court proceedings.
