Technology is revolutionizing the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) field. Despite the long‐held assumptions that increasing understanding, building empathy, and crafting resolution are only possible in‐person, effective ways have emerged for assisting the resolution of the exploding number of disputes that have burgeoned online. Technology has become the “fourth party” in dispute resolution through the growing field of online dispute resolution (ODR), which includes use of technology and computer‐mediated‐communication (CMC) in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution processes. ODR is infiltrating family law, and even courts are starting to employ ODR in family cases. Expediated divorces and tracking parenting plans with little court involvement garner appeal amidst growing expectations that everything should be available with a few “clicks” or “swipes” on our technological devices. These expectations and opportunities place new responsibilities on the field and its practitioners. How can we best integrate technology into ADR—both online and off? How can we prevent the rush to digitization from ignoring due process and transparency in the name of efficiency? Accordingly, this Article will discuss the value of ODR for family disputes and highlight key concepts and ODR standards to consider for ethical design and employment of technology in family dispute resolution.

家庭问题的有益和道德ODR†

技术正在彻底改变“替代性争议解决”（ADR）领域。尽管长期以来人们一直认为，只有当面才能增进了解，建立同理心和制定解决方案，但已经出现了有效的方法来协助解决迅速发展的在线争议。随着在线争议解决（ODR）领域的不断发展，技术已成为解决争议的“第四方”，其中包括在谈判，调解，仲裁和其他争议解决过程中使用技术和计算机介导通信（CMC）。ODR正在渗透家庭法，甚至法院也开始在家庭案件中采用ODR。越来越多的期望是，只要对我们的技术设备进行几次“点击”或“轻扫”就可以使用所有东西，那么迅速的离婚和追踪父母的养育计划几乎不会引起法院的关注。这些期望和机遇给该领域及其从业者带来了新的责任。我们如何才能最好地将技术集成到ADR（在线和离线）中？我们如何防止以效率为名而急于数字化的发展忽视了正当程序和透明性？因此，本文将讨论ODR对家庭纠纷的价值，并重点介绍在家庭纠纷解决中伦理设计和技术使用时要考虑的关键概念和ODR标准。这些期望和机遇给该领域及其从业者带来了新的责任。我们如何才能最好地将技术集成到ADR（在线和离线）中？我们如何防止以效率为名而急于数字化的发展忽视了正当程序和透明性？因此，本文将讨论ODR对家庭纠纷的价值，并重点介绍在家庭纠纷解决中进行伦理设计和技术使用时要考虑的关键概念和ODR标准。这些期望和机遇给该领域及其从业者带来了新的责任。我们如何才能最好地将技术集成到ADR（在线和离线）中？我们如何防止以效率为名而急于数字化的发展忽视了正当程序和透明性？因此，本文将讨论ODR对家庭纠纷的价值，并重点介绍在家庭纠纷解决中进行伦理设计和技术使用时要考虑的关键概念和ODR标准。
