“Family Law Arbitration – A Process Guide” was prepared by Morag M.J. MacLeod, KC for CLEBC’s 15th Biennial Family Law Conference. It explores the nuts and bolts of arbitration as a practical alternative to litigation under BC’s Family Law Act.

Focusing on the “how” of arbitration rather than the “why,” this guide offers clear, experience-based direction on tailoring the process to your case, using its flexibility to your client’s advantage and steering clear of common missteps. With benefits like privacy, control over procedure, subject matter expertise, and cost-efficiency, arbitration is becoming an increasingly vital option in family law practice.
