→You're concerned about family violence and threats
#your ex is threatening to do something drastic like take the children, hide or damage property, or rack up debt that you'll be responsible for.
While many mediators and some arbitrators have special training in handling cases involving a history of family violence, there may be times when only the court can guarantee your safety and the safety of your children , and only a court order will adequately protect people or property. Even though you may have no choice but to start a court proceeding, remember that settlement is still possible.
