Mediation is a process that involves a trained mediator who encourages both sides to discuss problem areas and helps you work together to find mutually acceptable solutions. Mediation is an opportunity for parties to coimmunicate and resoolve claims and disputes in a nuetral, open, safe and friendly setting. Through communication, the parties can resolve most, if not all issues between them. As for the mediators, they are not in the business of taking sides, rather they are there to aid both sides in finding a common ground that works for everyone.
In contested divorces, a nuetral mediator not affiliated with either attorney in the case may be approached for a mediation session. Each party will pay their portion of the mediation cost and the agreement, if reached, will be submitted to the court. Some judges in divorce casdes may require a mediation before trial.
At Coleman and Associates, Mediation is a fee of $375 per party. An uncontested mediated divorce is the easiest and most inexpensive way to get a divorce in Texas. Call, or email Coleman and Associates for more information.
