Family law mediation in Alpharetta for private, practical resolutions
A quieter way to resolve conflict
Mediation offers a structured, confidential setting for couples and parents to reach agreements without a drawn-out court fight. Starting in 2026, MEINCKE | HOUSTON FAMILY LAW will provide private mediation for divorce, custody, and parenting disputes from our Avalon office.
Parties retain decision-making power while a neutral mediator helps them find workable solutions.
What mediation can cover
Mediation can address property division, parenting plans, child support, and spousal support. It is often a strong option for families in Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, and Cumming who want control, privacy, and efficiency.
How our mediation works
Sessions may be half-day or full-day, in person or virtual. We guide the conversation, keep it focused, and help both sides evaluate realistic outcomes. When agreements are reached, they can be formalized into a binding settlement.
Mediation questions
Is mediation required in Georgia?
Many counties encourage or require mediation in contested family cases. Private mediation lets you choose the mediator and schedule, often before court mandates it.
Should we each have attorneys?
It is wise for each party to have independent legal counsel, even if attorneys do not attend the mediation itself.
What if mediation doesn’t settle everything?
You can continue negotiating or proceed through the court process. Many cases narrow issues significantly through mediation even if full settlement is not reached that day.
Book a mediation date
We will open mediation booking in 2026 with a separate scheduling system.
