Family Law Mediation

The conventional divorce structure pits spouses against one another and forces each of them to hire a lawyer to speak on their behalf, ultimately resulting in strangers deciding what is in their family’s best interests.

This process is not only incredibly expensive, but is also time-consuming, and can leave families more destroyed- especially children- than when they started.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of retaining two attorneys to negotiate the terms of their divorce, a family can decide for themselves. Instead of entering the process as enemies, you can sit down with a neutral attorney-mediator who can help guide you through the issues you and your partner must address in order to successfully divorce, laying the groundwork for a successful relationship post-divorce, for the benefit of any children.

You don’t have to be Gwyneth and Chris, or candidates for a conscious uncoupling, for our process to work. The truth is that you don’t have to still love- or even like– each other to do it differently, better. You can divorce better- less money, less time and less emotional trauma. A better way to- and through- divorce.

Our Guided Divorce package offers the ability to divorce for a flat fee that is less than the cost of a single divorce attorney in a contested divorce. We also offer a mediation package specifically tailored for families who need to modify an existing divorce decree. An attorney-mediator can utilize her legal knowledge and mediation skills to navigate a family through and to divorce, or modifying your decree post-divorce, as a neutral third party. And another Texas-licensed attorney will prepare your court filings.

A better way to divorce.

Benefits of the Affordable Divorce Texas Method

$1,400

For less than the retainer for a divorce litigator, we put your family’s well-being above all else and can help you achieve the best divorce at an affordable price.

Fast

Courts are overwhelmed, and contested divorces can take a year or more. In contrast, by utilizing the Divorce Better process, we can help you resolve the issues a judge would otherwise decide in a fraction of the time. We can help you divorce quickly, and be ready to finalize your divorce as soon as the 60-day waiting period has expired.

Flat Fee

Instead of worrying about the constant stream of lawyer’s bills, we take the anxiety out of the cost of divorce. We provide you with a one-time, flat fee that includes everything you need to successfully divorce based on our transparent fixed pricing.

Free Consult

For couples that qualify for our agreed divorce process, we offer a free, no obligation initial consultation during which a licensed Texas attorney and mediator will explain the Divorce Better process, as well as answer your questions and help you understand all your options.

Control

The conventional method of divorcing robs couples of control over their own families and finances, transferring power over to their attorneys and strangers who will determine what is in their family’s “best interests”. We believe you know what is best for you and your children and empower couples to make those decisions.

Less Stress

Not only is the Divorce Better method designed to help couples divorce faster and for less money, but perhaps most importantly, it leaves families healthier and happier, in a better emotional, psychological and financial position to move on.

A New Life

It may be hard to imagine now, but life will go on, and you deserve to start the next chapter as whole- mentally and financially- as possible. You are deserving and capable of happiness, and we want to help you achieve your best life.

Family First

Divorce can be traumatic for children, and we consciously work to minimize any negative impact. While parents divorce, families do not, and we want to create a framework for families to evolve, with the needs of children guiding all decisions.

Expert Guidance

Divorce is a big change. For most people, it is a defining moment in their lives, and even more so for children. That is why you need a team that is skilled at managing the transition and whose singular goal is to lay the groundwork for a successful next chapter in your family’s life.

No Shame

Divorce can be intensely intimate, leaving people vulnerable psychologically, emotionally and financially. We promise not only privacy and confidentiality, but also a safe space free from shaming or judgment.

Custom (Re)solutions

Your family is unique. But judges don’t have the time to learn your family’s story, and most divorce lawyers are not accustomed to creative custody arrangements or planning for your financial health. With diverse backgrounds and experiences, we are uniquely qualified to empower families to come up with their own solutions for their future happiness.

Confidential

The Divorce Better method is a private, confidential process that protects you and your family’s privacy, offering a means to secure valuable personal information and keep it out of the public record.
