This is from an Austrian divorce decision but I haven't seen this word 'Außerstreitsache' before. Nor can I find it via a google search.

non-litigation matter


Explanation:
I'm no law expert, but this would be the literal translation. I may be completely wrong though, so please wait till our more knowledgeable legal translators take a peek at your term. Meanwhile, here's what I found by elementary googling:


What constitutes a transaction or other non-litigation matter?
A transaction or other non-litigation matter refers to any legal matter other than litigation, arbitration, mediation, or a legal action before an administrative decision-maker.

non-litigious matter


Explanation:
I understand this as something outside the matter of dispute (for example additional matters in a legal case, such as inheritance cases, custody arrangements, maintenance claims of minor children)

non-contentious legal proceedings


Explanation:
The matter before the court is governed by the rules on non-contentious legal proceedings.

I personally would not use "alternative dispute resolution" here, as to English ears, this suggests mediation / arbitration or some other form of non-judicial process.

As far as I can tell, the Austrian Außerstreitverfahren is a form of judicial proceedings subject, however, to procedural rules which are different to those which apply in general civil law cases.

aber auch in Deutschland ist er bekannt:
ADR – Verfahren
„Alternative (außergerichtliche) Streitbeilegung“ - „alternative dispute resolution“

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) bezeichnet zum staatlichen Gerichtsverfahren alternative Streitbeilegungsmethoden. Es sind dies strukturierte Streitbeilegungsmethoden, bei denen mit Hilfe eines Dritten, am Konflikt unbeteiligten, ein Ergebnis gefunden wird, welches den wirtschaftlichen und persönlichen Bedürfnissen der Streitparteien möglichst nahe kommt. Mit ADR wird der Starrheit des staatlichen Gerichtsprozesses begegnet und der Streit zu einem für die Parteien gerechteren Ergebnis geführt.

die häufigste Form einer Außerstreitsache ist die Mediation.
