What Is Divorce Mediation in Texas?
Divorce mediation in Texas is a voluntary, confidential process where both spouses work with a neutral mediator to reach agreements about:
- Parenting plans
- Division of property and debt
- Spousal support
- Financial structure
- Communication and future planning
Rather than asking a judge to decide, mediation allows you to remain in control of the decisions that shape your family’s future.
When agreements are reached, they are typically formalized in a Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA), which may be binding under Texas law when properly drafted.
Why Texas Families Choose Mediation
Many couples want:
- Less conflict
- More privacy
- Greater control over outcomes
- A practical, efficient process
- A solution that protects children from unnecessary tension
Mediation provides structure without escalation.
You are not looking for a fight.
You are looking for resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce Mediation in Texas
Is divorce mediation required in Texas?
Texas courts often encourage mediation, and in many counties judges require mediation before trial in contested cases. However, couples may also voluntarily choose mediation before litigation escalates.
Is a mediated agreement legally binding in Texas?
When properly drafted and executed, a Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA) can be binding under Texas law. Final divorce decrees must still be entered by the court.
Do we each need our own attorney?
Some couples choose to consult independent attorneys during or after mediation for review. Others work collaboratively throughout the mediation process. The appropriate approach depends on your circumstances.
How long does divorce mediation take in Texas?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of issues, level of agreement, and financial structure involved. Many couples resolve matters in significantly less time than traditional litigation.
