In some cases, yes. Instead of an eight-month to one-year divorce process, mediation can bring you to a final agreement within six months.

Half a day for the mediator, half a day for your attorney, and your divorce is done.

Mediation is required by most Texas courts, but there are cases where it simply does not work.

When both sides want to be the primary parent and there is no middle ground, or when parties cannot agree on what assets even exist, litigation may be the only path forward.

Mediation starts with both sides in one room. The mediator explains the confidential process, then the back and forth begins.

Two or three rounds of settlement offers, and most cases reach an agreement by the end of the day.

Houston executives: your RSUs do not disappear in a divorce. Neither do your stock options or partnership interests. 📑

Each gets valued, classified as community or separate property, and divided. The timing of vesting, the grant dates, and the nature of each interest all determine how much is actually on the table.

This is one of the most litigated areas in high-asset Texas divorces, and the Bayley Law Firm knows how to handle it.

Texas divides community property in a way that is just and right, not always equal. Earning capacity, fault, children, and financial contributions all factor into the outcome. Understanding the basics puts you in a stronger position from day one.
