Mediation

Collin County, Texas, Mediation Lawyer

Most judges in Texas require family law cases to go through mediation before they can be litigated. At the McKinney law office of Barbara L. Jouette, Attorney, P.C., we also recommend mediation. Our firm helps clients in mediation in divorce-related disputes. In addition, Attorney Jouette practices collaborative law and acts as a mediator in uncontested divorce cases

Contact us for a free initial consultation to determine whether your case is appropriate for mediation. We will listen to your needs and concerns, ask you questions regarding your unique situation, and guide you in the approach that is most appropriate for your situation.

Mediation gives you more control over the outcome of your divorce or family law dispute. Rather than putting the decision in the hands of a judge, who is a stranger and may not have time to appreciate the uniqueness of your family, you are able to provide input and work together to reach an agreement that is suited to your individual needs and interests.

If you and your spouse have already come to amicable agreements about property division and parenting issues, you may not need to be represented by a lawyer. In uncontested divorce cases, our attorney can act as a mediator for both clients, preparing all of the legal documents according to the agreements, saving you the cost and animosity often involved in a contested divorce.

If you are considering an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method like mediation instead of litigation, it is critically important that you have a suitable mediator. If your mediator is not an attorney, the mediator may resolve the conflict but fail to draft the proper legal document that supports the agreement. This could lead to further legal disputes down the road.

Even if you are unable to resolve all of your family law issues in mediation, you may be able to come to an agreement on some of them, saving yourself time and money in court.

In addition to mediating family law issues, Attorney Jouette has also acted as a mediator in personal injury, civil law, and real estate cases.
