Benefits of Mediation for a Divorce in Frisco

Some level of conflict is to be expected in any divorce, but mediation can help you keep the conflict under control. Divorce mediators are trained to guide constructive negotiations without taking sides, and to help the parties to the divorce find common ground that can lead to satisfying solutions. When compared to litigation, mediation can have many possible benefits.

For example, mediation may result in a more efficient resolution because of the mediator's skilled guidance, as well as the avoidance of court scheduling obstacles and review and deliberation time for the judge. Saving time can also mean saving costs, including by eliminating some court fees and reducing or eliminating the need for an attorney.

The mental benefits of mediation can also be substantial. Mediation can help you avoid contentious back-and-forth arguments that may stall the process and encourage lasting resentment between you and your spouse. It also allows you to keep your personal affairs private, rather than airing them in a public trial. And, with mediation, you and your spouse will have ultimate control over the decisions you make and the outcome of the resolution, rather than allowing a judge to make those decisions for you.

Our Mediation Process

We strive to keep the mediation process as manageable as possible. We will first meet with you and your spouse to answer any questions you may have and set expectations for the rest of the process. We will also provide a packet of documents for you to complete on your own time in preparation for the resolution of important issues including property division and child custody. We will then schedule one or more mediation sessions to work through all of the issues at hand until you have reached a settlement, which we can help you file properly with the court.

Resolving a Variety of Divorce-Related Issues

We have experience helping spouses resolve all manner of divorce-related issues, such as:

• Property division, including for complex assets like homes, businesses, and retirement accounts
• Spousal support, including in cases of financial need or a disparity in income and assets between spouses
• Custody and visitation, including for conservatorship agreements, possession orders, and visitation by non-parents
• Child support, including in cases involving extraordinary health, developmental, or educational needs and expenses

We understand the court's standards for resolving each of these matters, and we can help you ensure that your settlement meets the court's approval and becomes legally binding.
