Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I would like to see about having a mediator or third party assigned to review and assist in establishing parental communication. Have been divorced since 2008 and the ex is just rude, which appears to be rubbing off on my oldest. I have attempted to communicate with my attorney and she does not believe this to be the answer. Should you have any suggestions or if you could provide information on how this may be able to be resolved, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, when I signed my divorce decree, I never reviewed it and now I have questions, I trusted that my attorney to do her best, plus the decree used was a standard doc besides the customized visitation we agreed to. Yet, I have contacted this attorney numerous time on the same issue and I am not getting any resolution. I would like to also know how much it would cost if I should decide to proceed with the mediator and if he would be responsible for half of this cost, as I believe I can prove that the manner in which he responses is unnecessary, rude and causes conflict, most of our communications I have maintained with him thru email.

Based on what you have written, you need to carefully review the terms of your current court order. This review will generally set forth who pays for mediation. You should consult with your attorney on this matter, if you are still paying the attorney. If you have released your attorney or no longer have an attorney-client agreement, then you may want to seek another law firm to assist you with this legal issue. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact us at [email protected] to arrange for an initial consultation. The above response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an on-going duty to respond to questions. Additionally, the response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than an educated opinion. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change.
