Kinder, Gentler Divorce

One of the ways of resolving a New Jersey divorce is through arbitration, a respected method of Alternate Dispute Resolution. However, it's important to follow appropriate legal procedures. Here, because the trial court mistakenly failed to consider whether the Rabbinical court’s arbitration decision was the product of "corruption, fraud, or undue means," and whether the Rabbinical court’s child-related decisions were in the best interests of the parties’ children, the judgment must be reversed.
