MEDIATION AND COLLABORATIVE LAW

Houston Mediation Attorney

Do you want to make the decisions about your property, children, and support? Mediation and collaborative law allow people the opportunity to do just that. As a mediation attorney, I encourage non-litigious means to settle your divorce. Almost all judges will require mediation before trial. In collaborative law, the parties and their attorneys sign an agreement to settle out of court.

Contact my firm to learn more about these amicable approaches to divorce.

Divorce Mediation

My firm provides mediation services to family law clients. Mediation is a process wherein each party shares in the control of the decisions that are made about property, children, and other issues. Mediation is an alternate, non-litigious way to approach a divorce. Mediation allows you to make the decisions about your future, rather than relying on a judge. Mediation is good for the children because both parents actively work out issues concerning their children to reach agreements with each other.

Collaborative Law

In collaborative law, both parties and their attorneys sign an agreement to settle out of court. Professionals such as financial planners and mental health professionals are often brought into the forum to assist with decision making in certain aspects of the divorce. The commitment to settle out of court provides each party with peace of mind that the divorce will not become litigious.

In both mediation and collaborative law, I can work with you to make decisions regarding issues such as:

• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Division of marital assets
