If you find yourself in a contested family law case, your attorney will likely discuss with you the pros and cons of mediation over going to court. Firstly, many counties in Texas require that you mediate before using the court's resources and have a final trial.
The overwhelming majority of cases settle through mediation rather than in court. Most people do not want a judge deciding issues such as how often they get to see their children, or how their property should be divided. Having your day in court does not mean that the judge wants to hear all about every gripe you have with your ex spouse or the other parent of your children. In fact, trying to tell the judge absolutely everything can do more harm than good to your case.
