Texas Family Law Mediators

The family-law mediators below include board-certified specialists and former family-court judges. Every calendar is live, so you can find a date that works for both households without a scheduling war.

Common Questions

What does family law mediation cost in Texas?

Among the Texas family law mediators on this directory who publish rates, half-day sessions run $400–$2,000 per party (median $1,000) and full-day sessions $800–$4,000 per party (median $1,900), as of August 2026. Some mediators quote case-by-case — always confirm the current rate when you book. See our Texas mediation cost guide for statewide figures.

How do I choose a family law mediator?

Look for a neutral whose career matches your dispute — the profiles here summarize each mediator's background, board certifications, and former judicial service. Then let the calendar decide the tie: an excellent mediator with a date inside your scheduling order beats a famous one who can't sit for ninety days.

Is mediation confidential in Texas?

Yes. Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 154 makes mediation communications confidential — offers and statements made in mediation generally cannot be used later in court. Read more in How Mediation Works in Texas.
