Texas Divorce Mediation Attorney
Divorce does not have to be expensive, time-consuming or emotionally draining. With a private divorce, you can achieve a workable and acceptable settlement while keeping the details of your divorce out of the public record. You will have greater control over the outcome and greater privacy, while obtaining a settlement that enables you to move forward in your life.
At The Perry Law Firm, we regularly use collaborative law and the mediation process to obtain divorce settlements for our clients — settlements that can protect financial data, personal information and your rights.

The Private Divorce Process
Fort Worth private divorce attorney Nancy Perry can review your situation, explain the private divorce process and help you make the right decisions about your future. If you choose the collaborative law approach, our firm will work to achieve a fair settlement as quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively as we can.
In the collaborative law process, both parties agree to enter into good faith negotiations over issues involving children, property division and spousal support. In a series of discussions, the parties and their attorneys develop workable and fair solutions to these issues. If it is necessary, the spouses can consult with a financial advisor about tax issues or with other professionals. When the parties come to a mutually acceptable resolution of all issues, a divorce petition and a separate document will be brought before the court. The judge will sign the divorce decree and a separate document called an agreement incident to divorce that contains the details of the arrangements concerning property division, child custody, visitation and spousal support. The agreement incident to divorce is not filed in court. It remains entirely confidential.
Protecting Your Rights and Your Privacy
With a private divorce, information about business ownership and financial assets remains confidential, as do sensitive personal details. You may have to make one or two court appearances, but no other information about your divorce will be made public, other than the fact that you have indeed gotten divorced. The Perry Law Firm will work diligently to protect your rights and privacy, and to achieve a fair settlement that enables you to make a successful transition to life after divorce.
