Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mediation is a method of resolving disputes without a judge. Usually, the participants include both parties to the dispute, their lawyers and a neutral mediator.
Even when clients want to take a case directly to family court, the law requires a period of mediation beforehand if there are minor children involved. For instance, the legal challenges brought by either parent involved in a divorce must go through a mediation period.
Attorney Bill Pemerton is a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31-listed mediator in the field of general civil and family law. He helps clients resolve their family law disputes out of court, saving them time and money.
Discover the Advantages of Choosing Mediation
Mediation offers a collaborative, cost-effective approach to resolving family disputes without the stress of going through traditional litigation. Choosing mediation helps both parties maintain control over the outcome while fostering communication and understanding. At Horton, Ballard & Pemerton PLLC, our experienced mediators guide you through the process, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and considered.
Here are some key advantages of opting for mediation:
- Confidentiality: Mediation sessions are private, allowing for open discussion without the fear of public exposure.
- Faster Resolutions: Mediation typically leads to quicker resolutions compared to court proceedings, minimizing emotional strain and legal expenses.
- Preservation of Relationships: By encouraging cooperative problem-solving, mediation allows families to preserve relationships post-dispute, which is especially crucial when children are involved.
- Customized Solutions: Unlike court-imposed judgments, mediation allows for creative, personalized solutions that meet the specific needs of both parties.
- Less Stressful Environment: Mediation is conducted in a more relaxed setting compared to a courtroom, making it easier for individuals to express their concerns and interests.
Mediation can be used to address any issues that might be brought before a family law judge. For example, child custody and child support issues can be worked out in mediation. Developing a plan to divide assets during a divorce can also be handled with the assistance of a skilled mediator.
