The respondent brought a motion to enforce a final consent order requiring the parties to resolve future spousal support disputes through arbitration.
The applicant opposed the motion, arguing that the order itself was not a valid arbitration agreement and she preferred to proceed in court via a Motion to Change.
The court held that it has jurisdiction to enforce a consent order to arbitrate by compelling the parties to execute a compliant family arbitration agreement.
The court ordered the applicant to sign the arbitration agreement and stayed her court proceeding.
