Tennessee Divorce Lawyers
Tennessee law requires all parties who have not already settled their divorce to submit to mediation. There are exceptions, but most parties will attend mediation unless they have already reached terms on a marital dissolution agreement.
Mediation can be a very useful tool to facilitate negotiation and resolution of disputed matters. Before attending mediation, you should be aware of key issues that may impact your rights:
- The mediator does not represent either party and does not provide legal advice.
- The job of the mediator is to facilitate communication between the parties in an attempt to resolve disputes.
- The mediator is not a judge.
People in divorce mediation should retain an attorney if they do not already have legal counsel. You should go into a mediation well prepared, with an understanding of your legal rights and options. Without proper legal counsel, many people have entered into agreements that are not in their best interests.
