Description

Appearing before all Family and Administrative Dispute Resolution Offices refers to participating in negotiations or hearings related to family or administrative disputes. This involves handling cases that are addressed outside the traditional court system, such as family disputes and administrative issues related to government or public institutions. Here’s an overview of each type of office and how to deal with them:

1. Family Dispute Resolution Offices

• Steps:
  • Filing a Request: A request is submitted to the family dispute resolution office to start the settlement process.
  • Mediation Sessions: Mediation sessions are held between the disputing parties, where the mediator tries to reach an amicable agreement.
  • Reaching a Settlement: If an agreement is reached, it is formally documented. If a resolution is not achieved, the parties may need to proceed to court.

2. Family Dispute Resolution Offices (Judicial or Semi-Judicial)

• Definition: Family dispute resolution offices are judicial or semi-judicial bodies that handle family cases that were not resolved through mediation, such as divorce lawsuits, property division, and child custody disputes.
• Steps:
  • Filing the Lawsuit: A lawsuit is filed with the family dispute resolution office, presenting evidence and documents related to the case.
  • Trial: Hearings are conducted where evidence is presented and testimonies are heard.
  • Ruling: The office issues a decision based on the evidence and testimonies provided, which may address issues such as alimony, child custody, and property division.

3. Administrative Dispute Resolution Offices

• Definition: Administrative dispute resolution offices address disputes between individuals or businesses and government agencies or administrative bodies, such as appeals against government decisions or grievances against public institution decisions.
• Steps:
  • Filing a Grievance: A grievance is submitted to the relevant office, detailing the reasons for the objection along with supporting evidence and documents.
  • Review of the Grievance: The office reviews the grievance and examines the evidence and testimonies.
  • Issuing a Decision: The office issues a decision, which may include modifying or upholding the administrative decision. In some cases, there may be an option to appeal to a higher authority.

4. Preparation for Attendance

• Preparation: This includes gathering evidence, preparing documents, and identifying key points to address during the sessions.
• Legal Advice: Consulting with a specialized lawyer in family or administrative matters may be beneficial to present the case effectively and achieve the best possible outcome.

5. Legal Implications

Appearing before family and administrative dispute resolution offices requires a good understanding of the legal procedures and practices associated with each type of office to ensure fair and effective resolution of disputes.
