Family Mediation

If you need a legal remedy for a family law matter, the thought of trying your case in open court can be intimidating.  The adversarial nature of the proceedings and the lack of privacy raise the level of stress for everyone involved. Going to trial is also an expensive proposition, and you’re bound by the court calendar, so your hearing can be delayed again and again. Fortunately, mediation is a viable alternative for many people who are going through a divorce. 

  

Having practiced family and civil law for several years, Debbie has the necessary perspective to help mediation clients reach a fair, equitable and practical settlement of all their issues. Family law mediation helps many couples achieve an uncontested divorce by resolving all their ancillary issues: spousal maintenance, child custody, child support, and the division of property. It is also helpful for resolving parenting plan disputes after divorce.

​

Many mediators are retired judicial officers or retired attorneys, but Debbie is still a very active, practicing family law attorney who possesses current knowledge and current experience to settle cases.

Debbie can meet at the firm’s Southlake office or she can meet with parties at any other mutually agreeable location in DFW Metroplex. She does not charge preparation or travel fees; she only charges a reasonable fee for the time spent in the actual mediation sessions.
