Pflugerville, TX Mediation Lawyers
HEMBREE BELL LAW FIRM
We protect your kids, your money, & your business.
As we move farther into the modern age, more and more couples are choosing non-adversarial methods like mediation to resolve issues related to their divorce, property division matters, child custody and support, and more. Contrary to what many believe, family law does not have to be one giant dispute motivated by bitterness or revenge. It is better for all parties to resolve their disagreements in a mature and civil fashion if that is possible, especially if there are children involved.
Our attentive Pflugerville mediation lawyers have helped thousands of couples and parents navigate mediation effectively and reach mutually beneficial agreements that allow them to move forward into a brighter future! We know you have a unique vision for your life and we aim to remove the barriers that are keeping you from achieving it.
Each member of our team is passionate, careful, and shares a common goal: making your life better. Call today to schedule your initial case evaluation and learn more about the mediation process.
What Kinds Of Issues Can Be Resolved In Mediation?
Many family law matters – including divorce, child custody and support, spousal maintenance, property and asset division, and modifications – can be resolved through mediation. Because these matters are often complicated and emotionally charged, mediation can provide a cooperative approach in a constructive environment where parties can communicate openly and work towards mutually beneficial solutions. Our Pflugerville mediation lawyers have extensive experience in successfully guiding clients through mediation, and handling cases of all levels of complexity.
What Are The Benefits Of Mediation?
Mediation is cost-effective, especially when compared to the cost of traditional litigation (going to court)
Mediation saves you time, again, especially when compared to the delays that are often associated with traditional litigation
Mediation keeps you out of court, thereby safeguarding your privacy and preventing your personal and financial affairs from becoming public information
Mediation can preserve what’s left of your relationship with your former spouse, especially if you share children and will have to co-parent together for the next few years
Mediation gives you greater agency over the decisions that will affect your life and keeps you in control (rather than a judge who does not know you or your family)
Mediation reduces overall stress and emotional strain
And more!
What Are Some Common Misconceptions Regarding Mediation?
Mediation isn’t mandatory.
This will depend on each individual case. Many courts in Texas do require couples to attempt mediation before they can move forward with their case.
Mediation is only for couples who are still on good terms.
Wrong! You don’t have to be friends with your ex, or even like them, to reap the advantages of mediation. You will work with an experienced professional to cooperate and come to a resolution on your divorce issues.
Mediators are like judges.
Nope! Mediators are a neutral third-party, meaning they cannot impose any settlement on you or your ex, nor can they force you to agree on any terms. They also cannot favor any side over the other or give legal advice. Their only purpose is to guide the conversation, keep the peace, and help both parties reach a solution.
Mediation takes too long.
Again, this will depend on each individual case, but even if you require more sessions than usual, you will likely still resolve your case faster than you would if you litigated in court. Family court dockets can get long, forcing your case to be delayed for weeks or even months.
If I go to mediation, I can’t have an attorney.
It is your legal right to have representation present at mediation, and it’s in your best interests. Our skilled Pflugerville mediation lawyers can advise you, negotiate on your behalf, and generally help you consider all aspects of the decisions at hand, including how they will affect you now and into the future.
