MEDIATION is a process involving a trained mediator, the parties to the lawsuit and
their clients. Each mediator has minor variations in his/her procedure, but the basics
of mediation are set out by Texas statute.
The role of the mediator is to help the parties reach an agreement with the
assistance and advice of their attorneys.
Mediations are generally set for a half-day or full-day, but can be set for longer if
necessary. Mediation generally occurs after information regarding the parties' assets
and liabilities have been compiled and information regarding the best interests of the
children is in the hands of the attorneys.
Debbie Kimbriel prefers certain mediators who are either retired family court judges
or experienced family law attorney/mediators. A mediator with extensive knowledge
of the laws regarding family law is better able to assist the parties in settling all
issues. Experienced family law mediators have a "filing cabinet" full of creative
solutions to help the parties settle their differences.
Mediation is suited for most cases once they are ready to be settled. For mediation to
be successful, both parties must be emotionally ready to finalize their divorce and be
organized and ready to settle all property and debt issues. Almost all cases are
required to be mediated prior to going to trial. Mediation is available to cases which
begin as litigation cases and can't be changed to collaborative law cases.
Mediation is a civilized way to settle cases without a trial. In mediation, the solution
reached suits the parties' wishes and desires, rather than the narrow constraints of
the court orders available to a judge or jury.
