What is Mediation and How It Relates to Family Law Cases in Texas

Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third party, known as the mediator, helps parties in a dispute communicate, negotiate, and reach a mutually agreeable resolution. In family law cases in Texas, mediation is often used to address issues like child custody, visitation, property division, and spousal support. It offers an alternative to costly and time-consuming litigation by allowing families to make decisions in a more controlled, private, and respectful environment. Mediation is particularly effective in family law, as it helps preserve relationships and focuses on finding solutions that are in the best interest of children and family members.
