McKinney Divorce Mediation Services in Texas

Divorce and Family Law Mediator in Collin County, TX and the Surrounding Areas

Divorce and other legal matters that affect your family can be incredibly stressful, and it can feel like events are out of your control. You may be worried about the stress and expense of addressing these issues in court, or something even more serious, like losing your home or custody of your children. However, when you use mediation to resolve these matters, you can maintain greater control over the situation as you work toward an outcome that meets your family's needs.

At Divorce Mediation Centers of America, we provide certified mediation services for divorce and related family law matters. Led by Sharon Easley, a licensed attorney who practiced family law for many years before starting her mediation practice, we understand the issues you are dealing with and the laws that govern them. We can help you achieve a comprehensive, legally binding settlement or agreement while avoiding the financial and personal costs of litigation.

Mediation for Family Law Matters in Texas

We focus on mediating settlements and agreements related to the divorce process, as well as child-related agreements between unmarried parents. We can help you resolve any of the following legal matters:

• Divorce - Ending a marriage in Texas means dividing community property, and depending on the circumstances, it could also mean addressing spousal support, child custody, and child support. We can help you reach a resolution on some or all of these issues by working with you and your spouse to identify creative, personalized solutions that satisfy both of your expectations. We serve spouses who are pursuing uncontested and agreed divorces, as well as those who are using mediation as an alternative dispute resolution method in hopes of avoiding the need for litigation.
• Child custody - Custody is one of the most challenging issues for divorcing parents, and it also may affect parents of children who are born outside of marriage. We offer mediation services to help parents create an agreed parenting plan that protects the children's best interests and suits the family's unique situation. We can also mediate parenting disputes related to the modification or enforcement of previously established parenting plans and custody orders.
• Visitation - Creating a schedule of time for the children to spend with each parent can be complicated even when the parents have an amicable relationship. We can help you consider all of the important details of your visitation schedule, including regular weekend and weeknight stays, holidays and vacations, exchanges and transportation, and communication between parents. We can also mediate disputes between parents and other relatives regarding access to the children.
• Child support - A child's right to financial support is a crucial consideration for both divorced and unmarried parents. When a child has special needs, extraordinary healthcare expenses, or unique educational and extracurricular costs, mediation can help parents agree on how best to share financial responsibilities. Mediation can also be a useful tool when a parent falls behind on payments, or when a parent needs to modify a child support order due to job loss or another life-changing event.
