Divorce can be an emotional and stressful event, fraught with conflict over such issues as the division of property and the custody and support of children. Fortunately, you and your spouse may be able to avoid exacerbating these problems by hiring a mediator to help you reach an agreement. At Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, LLP, with offices in Denton, Flower Mound, Gainesville and Celina, we put the legal knowledge and experience we have gained from more than 30 years of divorce and family law practice to work as effective and compassionate divorce mediators. We help couples to end their marriages on their terms and in their own time.
Mediation is a confidential form of alternative dispute resolution in which the mediator acts as a neutral third party. In divorce mediation, the mediator meets with the divorcing spouses and their attorneys to discuss and resolve issues such as property division, child custody and support, and alimony.

As mediators, we can help you and your spouse resolve the issues that arise in the course of your divorce or after it, including:
We can also mediate issues for those who choose legal separation rather than divorce. The scope of our mediation is up to the parties involved.

Mediation is not for all divorcing couples. Some may not be able to negotiate in good faith, but for those who are willing to follow through, our mediators can help ease the process of ending your marriage.
