Plano, Texas, Divorce Mediation Lawyer
Every divorce is unique, and sometimes litigation is the only way to effectively resolve issues. However, for those divorcing couples who wish to resolve issues outside of court, mediation may be a better option.
In divorce mediation, a neutral mediator is selected or appointed by the court to help the couple resolve issues through open dialogue. The mediator's role is to guide the discussion and compromises. He or she may suggest possible resolutions by identifying common goals, but cannot favor one party over the other.
If you want to learn more about mediation and the role it can play in your divorce, please contact the Tadlock Law Office.
Why Is Divorce Mediation Beneficial?
Mediation is attractive for many reasons:
- It identifies common goals and allows the couple to make decisions regarding how to reach those goals
- It puts the couple in charge of their post-divorce future rather than leaving important matters ¾ like child custody ¾ in the hands of a judge who knows little about their lives
- It encourages open communication between the parties
- It often leads to "win-win" solutions
- It is often less time consuming and less costly than divorce litigation
Typically, divorce mediation is appropriate for couples who agree on or have similar goals regarding most family law and divorce issues. It is important to note, however, that the couple does not need to agree on everything. Mediation can be used to resolve some issues, and leave others, like child support or division of property, for the court to decide.
