Alternative Resolutions to Divorce

Divorce can be a naturally antagonistic process. Many times, spouses feel wronged by one another and cannot see eye-to-eye on many of the critical decisions needed to move on from their marriage. However, this is not the case for every couple. In fact, a growing number of couples are forgoing a protracted courtroom process in favor of divorce mediation.

The mediation process is guided by mediator, but it is still highly advised that each spouse retain their own respective counsel. At OWLawyers®, we’ve seen how countless Texas couples have benefited from divorce mediation and have always ensured that their best interests remain a priority during each negotiation session. Our experienced and award-winning Fort Worth divorce mediation lawyers know how to navigate the mediation process and secure an amicable outcome for our clients.

Mediation: The Best Option?

Divorce mediation isn’t right for every couple, but couples who are still able to cooperatively work together, it can yield many benefits. Mediation can be so beneficial, in fact, the court will sometimes order it for couples it believes it can work for.

Why is mediation so beneficial?

  • It can be far less costly than a courtroom divorce.
  • It gives the couple more power to decide the terms of their divorce.
  • It is far less stressful and hurtful for the couple.
  • It offers more flexible scheduling and pacing than a courtroom divorce.
  • It can be healthier for any children of the couple (due to reduced conflict).

If mediation sounds like it is a viable option for your divorce, it is still essential that each party retain proper counsel. At OWLawyers®, not only can we recommend a skilled mediator for your divorce, but also keep a vigilant watch for you and your family’s best interests throughout the entire process.

What Issues Can Be Resolved in Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a versatile tool that allows couples to address and resolve various issues central to their separation. One of its primary benefits is its flexibility, enabling couples to tailor agreements that best suit their unique circumstances rather than relying on rigid court rulings. Below are key matters typically handled during mediation:

Property Division

Mediation helps couples reach agreements on dividing marital assets and debts. This can include decisions about the family home, retirement accounts, investments, vehicles, and other personal property. Mediation encourages equitable solutions while considering the financial needs and priorities of both parties.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

One of the most emotionally charged aspects of divorce, custody arrangements, and visitation schedules can be addressed thoughtfully in mediation. Couples can develop parenting plans that prioritize the best interests of their children while allowing both parents to have input in the decision-making process.

Child and Spousal Support

Discussions about financial support, including child support and alimony, can also take place during mediation. By negotiating these terms directly, couples often achieve solutions that feel fair and sustainable without court intervention.

Other Disputes

Mediation can address additional concerns, such as dividing sentimental items, planning for a child’s education or healthcare, or resolving disputes about family pets. This comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of the separation are covered.

By addressing these issues in mediation, divorcing couples can maintain greater control over their outcomes while saving time, money, and emotional stress. Mediation provides a collaborative and constructive environment to navigate even the most complex divorce-related matters.
