How does arbitration differ from other ADR methods like mediation in resolving parenting disputes?

Arbitration involves a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, who listens to both parents' perspectives and makes a binding decision to resolve the dispute. Unlike mediation, where the mediator facilitates discussion but does not make decisions, the arbitrator's ruling is final and enforceable. This method is more formal and structured than mediation, providing a definitive resolution without going through the court system.
