Houston Mediation Services
A Smarter, Cost-Effective Alternative to Litigation
Family law issues don't have to aways end up in court. Peaceful and amicable solutions can be reached through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), the process of settling disputes using means other than litigation.
The most common form of ADR is mediation. Mediation is an informal non-binding dispute settlement process run by a specially trained third party, called a mediator. The process is confidential, which allows both parties to negotiate settlement terms in a controlled environment. While the parties are not required to reach an agreement during the process, any agreement reached through mediation is likely to be approved by the court.
Most significantly, not only does mediation allow you to make the decisions in your case, reduce the cost of litigation, and offer a faster resolution, but it also fosters a workable relationship for the benefit of the children and future generations.

What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process where parties meet with a trained family law mediator to negotiate and settle disputes. Unlike traditional litigation, mediation fosters open communication and encourages creative solutions tailored to your family's unique needs.
Mediation can help resolve:
Divorce settlements – Including property division and spousal support
Child custody and visitation agreements
Child support modifications
Parental rights and responsibilities
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreement disputes
Why Choose Mediation?
✔ Faster Resolutions – Avoid lengthy court battles and reach agreements more quickly.
✔ Cost-Effective – Mediation is often far more affordable than litigation.
✔ Confidential & Private – Unlike court proceedings, mediation keeps personal matters out of public records.
✔ Less Stressful – Encourages cooperation rather than confrontation.
✔ More Control – You and the other party make the decisions instead of leaving them up to a judge.
