Under these rules, the court may encourage parties of family law cases to resolve their disputes through ADR. Parties must confer regarding the possibility of settlement and whether they might benefit from the use of ADR processes. The court may provide or authorize parties to utilize arbitration, a family law master (a person appointed by court who receives evidence on issues and submits a report to the court of findings of facts and conclusions of law), mediation, open negotiation (non-confidential negotiation), parenting coordinator, or a settlement conference. The rules also outline collaborative law proceedings, the Uniform Family Law Arbitration Rule, private mediation, settlement conferences, conciliation court, binding agreements, notice of settlements and sanctions. Finally, the rules provide further information and requirements for family law masters, family law conference officers, and parenting coordinators.
