Texas Divorce Mediation Lawyers
Kingwood | Sugar Land | Houston
Mediation is process whereby a third party will help the two parties in a divorce reach an agreement. If you and your spouse are ready for mediation, the process will give you an opportunity to settle your divorce without going to court.
At the law firm of Martin & Lilly, our lawyers often represent clients in the mediation process. In some cases, we can help our clients reach a better outcome in mediation than we could in divorce court.
Mediation allows you and your spouse to trade community property assets rather than let a judge split everything down the middle. Through mediation, you can also choose assets that are more important to you or offer greater tax advantages.
Mediation can be helpful in a child custody dispute. Mediation tends to be less aggressive and confrontational than the traditional litigation process. It allows the two parties to reach an agreement without creating a court record of their disputes and allegations. Mediated agreements tend to be more respected by the parties since they decided the outcome. For these reasons and more, mediation has a high success rate in Texas.
Alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and collaborative law are not binding on either party. This means that if you don't get what you want out of mediation, you don't have to settle. You still have the option of going to court.
