Franklin Conflict Resolution Lawyers
Tennessee law requires mediation in every divorce case, as well as in some post-divorce modification cases involving children. At the law office of Karla C. Hewitt and Associates, PLLC, you will find lawyers who have the experience to make the most of the mediation requirement, even if the case will end up requiring trial. Our founding attorney, Karla C. Hewitt, is also a Rule 31 family mediator, experienced and available to serve in the mediator position for cases in which she is not a lawyer representing one party.
Serving as Lawyers During the Mediation Process
With more than a decade of experience on our side, we understand that mediation can be extremely valuable in many situations. It tends to be more efficient and less costly than taking divorce and post-divorce cases to court. Many people consider it less stressful as well.
Sometimes, there is a serious dispute that makes it seem as though mediation is not going to be effective. In reality, the dispute may be intense, but it may be over only one or two issues. The other issues can be resolved through mediation, and if the parties agree, the trial may only need to address the few remaining major disputes.
Serving as Divorce Mediators
It is important to know that not all family law mediators are lawyers, and while there are a number of well-qualified non-lawyer mediators, there are many with very little knowledge of the law. Although mediators are neutral third parties who do not give legal advice during the process, we believe that in order to be most effective, a mediator should know how the courts work and what the laws are. We do.
