Reaching a Divorce Agreement Out of Court<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When contemplating divorce, many spouses fear a drawn-out, expensive court battle. Although disagreements are to be expected during the divorce process, that does not mean that things cannot be settled outside of court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 20 years, there has been a gradual societal movement away from divorce court trials and toward negotiated resolutions. Spouses who want to preserve a co-parenting relationship and their privacy, or who want to avoid the cost and collateral damage caused by a trial are increasingly finding solutions through a process of negotiation to achieve their objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A negotiated divorce allows you to make your arrangements with an experienced Texas family lawyer facilitating the negotiation, without stepping into a courtroom. About 95% of all Texas divorce cases ultimately resolve without a contested trial. So even if you and your spouse have areas of disagreement or complex financial or\u202fchild custody issues<\/a>, a negotiated divorce is still a viable option for achieving a constructive out-of-court resolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
