Protecting Your Rights & Best Interests During Mediation

Increasingly, Texas courts require that parties attempt dispute resolution through mediation before trial. Family law courts take this trend one step further—if divorcing couples are unable to resolve their differences, they must make a good-faith attempt at mediation prior to trial.

While this requirement may feel like a burden, it often works in couples’ favor because mediation:

  • Allows for greater participation and input on the part of the divorcing spouses
  • Allows for greater privacy because most mediation records are confidential
  • Allows participants to decline options
  • Often costs less than a trial

Are you considering filing for divorce or have you been served with divorce papers? Since mediation is required, it is important that the divorce lawyer you choose be skilled and experienced in all aspects of the mediation process. At Cynthia Tracy, Attorney at Law, P.C., firm founder and lead attorney Cynthia Tracy is highly effective at advocating for clients’ rights in mediation. Why? Cynthia has experience in numerous roles of family law dispute resolution.
