When speaking in terms of settling, it is referring to the resolution of an existing conflict, that is, to putting an end to a disagreement that exists between parties.
Resolution of a conflict
The word turns out to be more than anything popular at the request of the law, of justice, since it is precisely in this area where, officially and formally, conflicts or disagreements that may arise in the events of daily life are resolved, settled. of any community.
When an issue is settled through whatever methodology, the conflict will be overcome.
Main applications of the concept
For example, a person dies and disputes arise between the heirs, then, whoever considers it necessary to resolve the situation may take the case to court so that it ultimately decides who are the real beneficiaries of the inheritance, who is responsible for the herself.
Although of course, it is not necessarily the justice, a judge, a court, who can settle a conflict, as we mentioned, this context is the formal one and to which people ultimately go to resolve disputes if through dialogue a dispute was not reached. However, there are previous instances, a mediation, for example, in which a question can also be settled, or failing that, setting up a meeting with those people with whom it is intended to settle a conflict.
In much smaller and everyday conflicts such as the controversy between neighbors, the Board of Directors of the building in which they reside, can assume the role of mediator and settle the disagreement between them.
Necessary conditions to solve problems effectively
Whatever the conflict and the context in which it occurs, whenever a resolution is sought, it will be essential that the parties in dispute present the best possible disposition to resolve it. When this does not happen, it will be very difficult for the arrangement to reach good terms.
Among the conditions that are indicated as necessary to resolve differences or problems, we can cite the following in addition to good predisposition: always keep emotions under control, know how to listen to the other in the approach of the problem and their position to solve it, always promote dialogue, no make use of physical or verbal violence, show tolerance and respectful treatment at all times, accept opposing positions, among the most important to observe.
Cancellation or dissolution of a signed agreement or contract
Another use of the word accounts for the decision to undo the unity of a group, especially one in which its members are united by contract or agreement.
That is, this last sense of the term of the word settle is often used as a synonym for annulment and dissolution.
One of the most common examples that we can give in this case is that of divorce, a process that begins and follows a couple united in marriage, when they decide to put an end to their union.
The causes that lead to divorce can be varied, from deception to irreconcilable differences in coexistence, then, when a couple finds the need to separate because the relationship does not work, they will resort to justice to resolve its termination through divorce.
At present, it is a rather simple and fast procedure. Many laws have renewed their conditions to make the procedure more bearable than in the past.
Of course, when the couple does not have children or property in common, it is much simpler, whereas when there are shared property and children, it will be necessary for the judge who intervenes to determine the terms of the separation of property, what will be up to each of them. the parties, and also the fate of the children, with whom they will live, visitation time, among other issues.
