Hire an arbitrator
Before hiring an arbitrator, make sure you've looked into their background to find out if they have special training in arbitration, and any special expertise or interest in the issues that are most important in your family law dispute. Lawyers who have training and are accredited to arbitrate by the Law Society are called ''family law arbitrators'', and they <span class="noglossary">will</span> usually advertise themselves as such.
When picking an arbitrator, go to the website of a professional arbitrators' association like the [https://www.adrbc.com ADR Institute of British Columbia]. Associations like this <span class="noglossary">will</span> have a list of their members, the training and experience they require for membership , and a short biography of each member. If that doesn't work, call a family law lawyer. Most family law lawyers <span class="noglossary">will</span> know one or two arbitrators they can recommend, and <span class="noglossary">will</span> be happy to give you those arbitrators' names and phone numbers.
You could also try doing an internet search for something like "family law arbitrator penticton" or "family law arbitrator parenting." Putting your search term inside quotes forces most search engines to look for the exact phrase you've used.
