Navigating Divorce Mediation with Hamer & Taylor
At Hamer & Taylor, we believe that mediation is one of the most effective ways to resolve divorce cases efficiently, minimizing stress, legal costs, and courtroom battles. Mediation allows both spouses to work together—with the help of their attorneys and a neutral mediator—to reach a fair and customized agreement on key issues such as property division, child custody, and financial support. Our legal team ensures that your rights are protected throughout the mediation process while helping you negotiate terms that work in your best interest.
Mediation is often a faster, less expensive, and more amicable way to settle a divorce compared to going to trial. By choosing mediation, you maintain more control over the outcome, rather than leaving important life decisions in the hands of a judge.

How Mediation Works in a Divorce Case
As Anne Hamer explains above, mediation is a required step before a divorce case can go to trial in Tennessee. While only about 10% of cases actually go to trial, mediation is a critical tool that helps clarify the issues, highlight strengths and weaknesses, and guide both parties toward resolution.
A skilled mediator helps each side understand their position and explore creative solutions that work for both parties. Instead of letting a judge—who has limited time to review your case—make decisions for you, mediation empowers you and your spouse to reach agreements that best fit your family’s needs.
At Hamer & Taylor, we advocate for fair, thoughtful, and productive mediation to help you move forward with confidence.
