Smart, private, different. Détente is a completely new way to get the professional, experienced help you need to quickly and cost-effectively get a divorce, handle post-divorce child support and parenting issues, or resolve medical treatment, business, and other personal disputes without going to court. Save time, money, and your sanity with Détente.
"Détente" usually refers to the time when countries on the brink of destroying each other decide to stop fighting for long enough to discuss a solution to end their conflict. People, too, often reach a point - after they have been in court or sometimes even before they hire lawyers and file a divorce or lawsuit - when they realize they just need to call a truce and get outside help to finally settle their differences.
If this sounds all too familiar, Détente mediation is your answer. Mediation is a way to settle a dispute where the people who are involved in the conflict keep control of the outcome rather than a judge deciding for them. They sign a "treaty" and come into their own private, guided, peace talks so they do not destroy each other, reputations, careers, businesses, families, and important future relationships with children or others. The ultimate goal is to reach a solution that is fair, reasonable, and most importantly, lasting. People are more likely to stick with an agreement they have negotiated and decided for themselves, than one imposed by someone else. If you are ready and want to reach agreement, we can help no matter how much conflict there is.
Why choose Détente? It is the only mediation in Texas that is based on the concept of collaboration, which has been shown to have a 93% settlement rate and to cost on average 20% to 25% of a fully litigated lawsuit. Détente uses several of the key principles of collaborative law, but it is different in two important ways: In Détente, you may choose to have an attorney or not, and if you do not settle you are not required to get a new attorney.
Détente is also the only kind of mediation that can completely replace potentially embarassing public court battles altogether with a private, self-contained alternative. You will have all the guidance and direction you need from professionals who will not takes sides, while saving time, money, and frustration. For every divorce, medical treatment, probate, and family dispute, the Détente mediation is co-conducted by an attorney-mediator and a communication coach or family therapist with specialized training. This unique team not only helps everyone to resolve legal issues, but also to deal with imbalance of power, and strong emotions that may be holding them back from settlement.
The best part for you is that the Détente mediator cannot make a decision for you like a judge or arbitrator would. The control is yours, not someone else's. The mediator is there to find creative and practical solutions that work for everyone, because nothing can get settled until all can agree on the outcome.
