Mediation & Settlements Attorneys In Tennessee

There are many legal complications surrounding divorce. The assets and property of both spouses must be divided, child custody must be determined and even alimony must be settled on. Mediation is designed to protect both spouses’ rights in the divorce process and ensure a balanced settlement is agreed upon. This form of alternative dispute resolution can be very helpful for many divorcing parties.

Some basic benefits of mediation include:

• Often involves fewer legal fees
• Minimal court time if an agreement is settled on
• Faster divorce process
• Less emotional stress and frustrations

A mediator is an outside party who will guide both spouses through the divorce process in a fair and ethical manner. While they oversee the agreement, it is still helpful to have a legal professional who can ensure that the agreement is fair for your particular situation.

If children are involved in a divorce, mediation will be mandatory. You may be ordered to mediate by a judge, but this does not mean that an agreement will be settled on. If neither party can compromise or agree with certain aspects, it may have to go through the court.

It is very wise to review a settlement with your Nashville family law attorney prior to signing it. Contact attorney Sir online today if you would like to discuss the possibility of mediation. You can also call us at (615) 229-7235
