How Does Mediation Work in Texas?
Mediation is an excellent option for couples who want to resolve their divorce issues in a less contentious and less expensive manner. In mediation, the parties and their mediator will discuss the issues involved in the divorce and try to reach an agreement.
Types of Mediation
There are two types of mediation:
- Collaborative mediation - This type of mediation is generally used in cases involving high net worth individuals and/or complex issues. Collaborative mediators generally have more experience in this type of case and are more skilled at helping the parties reach an agreement.
- Judicial mediation - This type of mediation is generally used in cases where the parties do not reach an agreement in collaborative mediation. The judge will provide the parties with a mediated settlement agreement that they must adhere to.
Our mediation firm in San Antonio has experience in both types of mediation. We can help you choose the type of mediation that is best for your situation and help you through the process.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers!
-
Will I have to pay alimony? Do Texas courts award alimony?
Long-term alimony is very unusual in Texas.
However, temporary or permanent spousal support will be decided on a case-by-case basis. The court will consider several factors, including the length of the marriage, both spouses’ jobs or job skills, health concerns, and other considerations.
-
How long will it take to get my divorce finalized?There are too many factors to consider to give a definitive answer to this question. The simple answer is this: Texas requires a 60-day waiting period from when the papers are filed before a divorce can be finalized. However, complicated matters and disagreements will prolong the process.
-
Does it matter who files for divorce?If the court is necessary, the party who files the divorce papers presents their case first. However, it doesn’t matter who files the documents with the county clerk in most cases.
-
Can the court require my spouse to pay for the attorney fees?
Typically, each person will pay their own attorney. However, the court may sometimes allow one party to use the community property to pay these fees.
The court may also equalize the fees between attorneys on both sides so that your spouse can draw out community funds to pay their attorney.
