McKinney, Texas, Family Law Dispute Mediation Lawyers
When thinking of divorce proceeding options, people often think of the most frequently encountered method of courtroom litigation. There is another option, however, which can be less expensive and faster, and can reduce conflict.
- Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process that largely avoids the downsides of the legal system. Mediation is:
- More confidential. Many conversations that would normally occur in court take place instead in a private office, and many documents that would normally be filed with the court are instead taken home by the parties.
- Less expensive. Costs related to discovery, attorneys' fees and filing fees are reduced or eliminated.
- Faster. Delays occur primarily from parties' inability to agree, not lengthy waits for court hearings. If the parties agree quickly, even a divorce involving high-value assets can be concluded within several months.
Mediation is often required by the courts because of the advantages it offers participants. Especially in instances that contemplate modification of a divorce decree, custody, child support, visitation or other matters, modification can be deemed mandatory by the court. If you anticipate a low-conflict divorce, contact the family law law firm of Brown & Long to discuss mediation.
