Grapevine Divorce Mediator
Professional Support through Texas Family Law Matters
Mediation is a process that uses an independent third party, often another attorney, to guide the parties to an agreed upon settlement. The goal of mediation is for the parties themselves to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute. Each party has their own lawyer present at mediation to offer legal advice, advocate for their clients’ respective positions and help draft the settlement document.
Mediators cannot force parties to settle, however mediators are trained to facilitate settlement and frequently are able to help parties reach a settlement. Mediation is not an easy process, but a successful mediation is usually cheaper, faster, and less adversarial than a trial.
