Allen Divorce Mediator in Texas

Certified Mediation Services in Collin County, TX

The divorce process has a reputation of being incredibly difficult and unpleasant, to the extent that some people may even choose to remain in an unhappy marriage rather than go through the trouble of trying to end it. This reputation may have some basis in fact, especially in a litigated divorce, but there are more manageable, less stressful ways to legally end a marriage. Divorce mediation is an option that works for many couples, and it may be a good fit for you.

At Divorce Mediation Centers of America, we focus on providing certified divorce and family mediation services in Allen, TX and the surrounding areas. Our mediators have a background in legal practice, meaning that they have extensive experience handling family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, and more. We can guide you through a cost-effective process of resolving the issues you are facing and help you retain control over the outcome.

Mediation for Divorce and Child-Related Issues

The divorce process includes many elements upon which you and your spouse must come to an agreement, and there may be varying degrees of difficulty in reaching a resolution. Perhaps you and your spouse have committed to an uncontested or agreed divorce, and you simply need help ironing out the details. Or, perhaps you seem to be very far apart when it comes to each of your needs and priorities, but you want to try to find common ground rather than fight each other in court.

In either case, mediation can help you take a comprehensive view of the issues at hand and work through them together. With the help of a mediator, you may be able to work out an agreement that allows each of you to hold onto your most important properties and assets and ensures that each of you will leave your marriage with financial stability. You may also be able to work out an agreement regarding child custody, visitation, and child support that puts your children's interests first and allows you to work together as co-parents.

Our mediation services can also help outside of the divorce process. For example, unmarried parents can make use of our services to establish custody and child support agreements for children born outside of marriage. Those who have been through a divorce in the past can also use mediation to address order modifications and disputes over order enforcement.

Why Choose Mediation?

When you choose mediation as your divorce resolution method, you may find that there are a number of advantages. For example:

• Mediation can help you save money. Keeping your divorce out of court can help you greatly reduce court costs. You can also use mediation without hiring an attorney, allowing you to avoid paying a retainer and costly hourly attorney fees.
• Mediation can help you save time. Divorce litigation can be a lengthy process that requires multiple court appearances, but mediation can be completed in as little as one productive session.
• Mediation can help you maintain privacy and control. What happens in a mediation session stays between you, your spouse, and the mediator, and all of the decisions you make are your own.
• Mediation can help you prevent conflict. A mediator can help discussions remain civil and constructive, which may help you maintain a more positive relationship with your former spouse and avoid conflict in the future.
