If you are successful with getting a separation agreement (family law) or settlement agreement (business law) signed, you will need independent legal advice.

Before the start the arbitration process, you will need to sign an arbitration agreement. This means that you and the other party agree that the arbitration process is legally binding.

This “arbitration judge” is normally a lawyer, not a judge. Also, neither party will have any sort of relationship with the third party.
