Choosing the Best Lawyer for Tennessee Divorce Mediation

To have your divorce agreement finalized by a judge, you must be in accordance with the legal standards of Tennessee divorce laws, which means the division of assets and property must be “fair and equitable.” Using a divorce lawyer for your mediation can be helpful.

Because many divorce lawyers are more experienced in litigation, it’s important to know how to choose an attorney who is also skilled in mediation.

How Divorce Lawyers Mediate 

Mediators should enhance the mediation sessions between you and your spouse. They should facilitate the discussions in which you and your spouse will determine who gets what. If there is any problem with how you divide your property, the mediator can interject with his or her legal knowledge.

To choose the best mediator for divorce mediation, consider asking the Tennessee divorce lawyer these questions:

1. What type of mediation training have you received and how long ago?
2. How long have you been practicing as a mediator?

4. How many couples have you mediated?

8. Do you have materials available to help with our mediation sessions?
