Is private adjudication cheaper than using lawyers to handle a divorce?

The cost to litigate issues in the probate court tends to be higher than the cost to participate in private adjudication. The experienced attorney, acting as a private adjudicator, could schedule a hearing on contested issues substantially faster than a hearing before a judge in the probate court. The accelerated process of adjudication substantially reduces the additional costs of the parties legal fees as compared to the protracted court litigation.
