Ready to Protect Your Interests

When you are faced with a family conflict, or any legal issue that involves your marriage or children, you need a legal professional who has the skill, experience, and commitment to properly protect your interests.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

How to Prepare for Mediation

A common question that gets asked about mediation is how to properly prepare for it. Having your disputes resolved outside of the courtroom saves both time and money.

Here are some recommendations to prepare for your mediation sessions:

  • Be Realistic – It is important to educate yourself on the details of your case so that you can make realistic expectations for each issue at hand.
  • Compromise – A big part of mediation is being able to resolve your differences amicably. This means that you may need to sacrifice some things so that you and your spouse can come away with a victory.
  • Make a List – Part of coming prepared to your mediation session is having a list of priorities. If there are too many issues to discuss, you can take one of them at a time.
  • Documentation – Be sure that you copy all documents that are considered evidence on your behalf. This may include documents given to you by your attorney.
  • Relax – Having a good night’s rest may help you feel more comfortable during your session. Mediation should not be about pressure, it should be about alternative resolution through peaceful negotiation.

The Benefits of Mediation

There are several crucial reasons to proceed with mediation rather than litigating a divorce. To realize these benefits, divorcing spouses should enter mediation in good faith with an experienced Texas mediation lawyer by their side. Mediation could offer the following benefits:

If your divorce case goes to court, it will be litigated by attorneys and decided on by a judge. By achieving a successful agreement in mediation, you and your spouse have complete control over the outcome of the case.
Going to trial will be costly for both you and your spouse. Attorney’s fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and other expenses could significantly impact your bank account. Mediation costs are considerably less than the amount you could spend on litigation.
The mediation process is collaborative, rather than adversarial. Unlike litigation, which often pits spouses against one another, a mediation could bring you closer together. Avoiding hostility will greatly benefit any children involved, and could benefit both spouses moving forward in life.
Divorce litigation can take several months and at times even years to complete. During this time, you may feel that you are in limbo. Your new life is on hold. With a successful mediation, you can typically complete the divorce far faster so that you can move on with your new life.
