Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism(ADR)  refers to any method of conflict resolution that takes place outside of the courtroom. It involves processes and techniques of conflict resolution without litigation and empowers parties to work together using a framework to amicably settle complex issues.

Parties often use multiple ADR methods to meet their needs, and the methods can be more efficient and less expensive. In addition to the economic benefits of ADR, it can help family

members who are deeply invested in the issue find solutions amicably. That being said, ADR still requires parties to voluntarily examine the disputes and work together to arrive at a solution.
