Appealing

In resolving their New Jersey divorce case, the parties are free to select alternative dispute resolution methods. One of those is arbitration, which can be "binding" or "appealable". If the latter, however, this case makes it clear that any appeal must first be to the trial court. The parties cannot by their agreement create a right of direct appeal to the Appellate Division.
