Four in ten of us would be prepared to pay more to resolve family disputes privately if that meant waiting less time for help or getting a resolution faster.
Two in ten people said they would pay up to £250 and a further 15% would pay up to £500.
Reducing stress is the main reason for paying for a quicker resolution.
The research also found that 40% of respondents were already paying for private services to resolve family law disputes.
However, the awareness of private family law options is low.
Three quarters of people didn’t know that alternatives to the court system existed.
These findings show there’s a gap between public demand for quicker dispute resolution and the awareness of the private options that are available to people.
