Mediation During a Family Case, be Careful!

1/11/2021

Many people don't know that the vast majority of family law cases end up settling out of court. Most of the time out of court settlements are for good reason and can greatly simplify a family law case for all involved and eliminate some of the strain that is placed on the Texas family courts.  Not only is it very expensive to take a case all the way to trial, but you know your situation better than a judge does and you are in a better position to decide what is going to work best for you and your family.

Should You Attend Mediation?

4/10/2019

You may or may not be surprised to learn that most Texas divorce cases settle outside of court.  You may not understand why you should attend mediation and you may just be ready to have your day in court.  Attending mediation doesn't mean that you are giving up on your day in court, and in many instances a Texas court of law will require the parties to attend mediation before any contested hearing, especially if child custody is involved or their are complex property issues to be litigated.  Although mediation doesn't always work, it can present some valuable opportunities that may be impossible to get standing in front of a judge.  ​
