From Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Lisa Bonet, to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, many couples in both Hollywood and in cities all across America are opting for a less dramatic and peaceful approach to the divorce process.
In Texas, there are several alternatives to the typical litigation approach that can help keep the parties’ disputes out of public court record.
Whether you are a celebrity, want to protect your children from the process, or are a business owner and do not want trade secrets open to court scrutiny, there are various reasons why parties do not want their personal and business affairs divulged in court.
If this is a concern of yours you should ask your attorney about these alternatives to help keep your divorce private:
Collaborative Divorce Process
this process is becoming more popular in the States. It is not for everyone, but it is something to consider as it keeps you out of Court.
Agreements Incident to Divorce
these are agreements between the parties that are meant to be read with your divorce decree and a part of the divorce decree but are not filed with the court records and are not publicly available. This is a common approach divorce attorneys use when they are dividing businesses amongst spouses.
Mediation
this process is confidential and is highly effective in keeping parties out of court.
