[00:00:00]Mediation to me is the best thing possible in family law.

[00:00:05]If you go to court, you're putting everything in front of a judge. A judge who may have a bad day. A judge who may look at you and decide they don't like you because they don't like someone who's wearing that color or or they have some internal prejudice that you'll never know about. It's tricky putting things in front of a judge to decide.

[00:00:25]Mediation takes that out of the picture.

[00:00:27]In Texas, if you go to mediation to settle your divorce and and you get a fully executed mediated settlement agreement, the judge must follow that agreement and the judge has no room to to wiggle or change that. Mediation's just a a awesome process, I think, in in Texas because you go to a mediator, both sides get to have input and communicate back and forth with the other side. And just like you did in marriage, even if you had a a bad marriage, at some point you negotiated things between yourselves.

[00:01:01]And this is kind of like a final negotiation to just settle it up and get it done. And it works 95 plus percent of the time. If you have any questions about what to expect in your Texas divorce, give us a call at The Vondra Law Firm.
