What to expect

How divorce mediation often works in Texas

Texas has its own vocabulary for divorce. These are the topics couples most often work through in mediation.

  • Community property

    Texas is a community property state. In many cases, property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be shared, while some property may be separate. Your mediator can help you sort out which is which.

  • Conservatorship

    Texas uses conservatorship and possession and access instead of custody and visitation. In mediation you can agree on decision-making and a schedule that fits your children.

  • Support

    Child support in Texas generally follows state guidelines, and spousal maintenance tends to be limited. Your mediator can explain how these may apply to your family.

  • Mediated settlement agreement

    Texas couples often sign a mediated settlement agreement, which can be difficult to change once properly signed. Your mediator can explain what signing may mean before you do.

Texas courts often order mediation in family cases, so many couples choose it from the start.

The process

Three steps, at your pace

  • Free case review

    A short, no-pressure conversation about your situation and whether mediation may be a good fit.

  • Mediation sessions

    You and your spouse work through each decision with a neutral mediator, in person or by video.

    Your mediator helps put what you agreed on in writing, ready for the next step with the court.

  • Going through a divorce is never easy, but Shane’s calm, compassionate approach created a space that felt respectful and balanced for both of us. Even through difficult negotiations like finances and the kids, he helped us focus on solutions over conflict, and we were able to avoid the stress of going to court. Truly grateful for Shane’s expertise and heart.

FAQ

Texas divorce mediation questions

What is a mediated settlement agreement in Texas?
It is the written agreement couples sign at the end of mediation. In Texas it can be hard to undo once properly signed, so it is worth understanding before you sign. Your mediator can explain what it may mean for you.
What does conservatorship mean?
It is Texas’s term for custody, covering which parent makes decisions for the children. Possession and access covers the schedule. Both can be worked out in mediation.
Is Texas a community property state?
Yes. Property acquired during the marriage is often presumed to be community property. Mediation lets you decide together how to divide it.
Do you mediate in Dallas and Fort Worth?
Yes. Resolvium works with couples across Dallas-Fort Worth, where Chizobam-Uloma Eze is our local mediator for Dallas, Garland and nearby communities, and in San Antonio, where Shane Jones is our local mediator. Sessions can also happen by video.
How much does mediation cost in Texas?
Mediation is billed hourly, so the total often depends on how many issues you need to resolve and how much you already agree on. The calculator above gives a rough estimate.
