Divorce cases in Texas can be lengthy and time consuming. A divorce is not final for at least 60 days after a petition is filed. However, most divorce cases take six months or more to finalize, depending on the complexity of the issues and the degree of conflict in the relationship. For some couples, divorce mediation is a faster and more affordable option that allows you to resolve issues directly.
Legal Separation in Texas
The state of Texas does not recognize legal separation like many other states. What this means is that even when you are living away from your spouse, all of the property you or your spouse acquire is consider shared, regardless of the way it is titled. You are considered married until your divorce is finalized, keep this in mind during the divorce process so that there are no surprises.
What Is The Quickest Divorce Process?
While all divorce cases are unique, divorce mediation typically is the fastest divorce process. This is because mediation allows for both parties to address their needs and work through the division of property, allocating responsibilities, and more face to face. Our team provides affordable divorce mediation in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas.
Is Divorce Mediation Expensive?
The cost of mediation depends on the number of sessions required in order to reach a resolution. With that said mediation is often the most affordable option. In traditional courtroom divorce cases, both parties typically will hire an attorney. These attorneys will negotiate on behalf of the divorcing couple, leading to a lot of back and forth communication. This will drag out the length of the divorce and require more paid time to attorney.
Mediation is a more affordable divorce process because it allows both parties to communicate directly while working out issues such as spousal support, child custody, child support, and the other details of the settlement agreement. Family mediation helps with positive dispute resolution. When you are able to reach an agreement amicably, this will make for an easier divorce for all parties involved, especially children.
What Is A Divorce Mediation Session Like?
Divorce mediation can look different for different couples. You and your spouse may choose to work together in the same room to resolve issues and come to an agreement on important factors of your divorce. In other situations, a mediator may meet with both parties separately to get an understanding of what their needs are in order to help find mutually agreeable terms. All divorces are unique, with mediation you are able to work your way through the divorce in a way that suits your needs. Schedule a consultation with our team today.
