ReSolution Issue 9 May 2016 | Page 45

how this judicial debate is resolved but one thing is for sure - arbitration is the best adjudication option if the parties wish to ensure confidentiality.

The introduction of Children Arbitration this year will be welcomed. The IFLA Children Scheme will be launched in April 2016 and will provide another way for parents to resolve disputes regarding their children outside of the court arena. They will be able to deal with: where their children should live, with whom, how much time they should spend with the other parent and relocation internally within England and Wales. The hope is that in opening up arbitration to children disputes, these difficult and often emotionally challenging cases will be dealt with more expeditiously and, together with financial arbitration, provide a much needed release valve for the congested family Courts so as to free up time for Judges in the family division to deal more quickly with cases that remain in the Court system.
