DIVORCE AND CHILD CUSTODY SOLUTIONS

Family Law Mediation Representation in Round Rock, Texas

Strong Advocacy for Clients Navigating Divorce and Custody Mediation

Mediation is a critical step in many Texas family law cases — including divorce, child custody, and child support disputes. At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C., we don’t serve as mediators, but we do represent clients at mediation and work strategically to protect their interests and secure favorable outcomes.

Based in Round Rock, Texas, we represent clients across Williamson County through all stages of mediation. Whether you're preparing for a contested divorce, a child custody modification, or a property division dispute, we’ll stand by your side at the negotiating table — ensuring your voice is heard, your rights are protected, and you don’t agree to anything that could harm your future.

What Is Family Law Mediation in Texas?

Mediation is a structured process where both parties (and their attorneys) meet with a neutral third-party mediator to try to resolve their disputes outside of court. It's commonly required by family courts in Round Rock and Williamson County before a case can proceed to trial.

Mediation can be used for:

• Divorce and separation disputes

• Child custody and visitation agreements

• Child support and medical support negotiations

• Property division and spousal maintenance

• Modifications and enforcement cases

The goal of mediation is to help both sides reach an agreement on all or some issues — without needing a judge to decide. Mediation is confidential and typically less costly and adversarial than a courtroom trial.

We Represent You — We Are Not the Mediator

It’s important to clarify: we do not offer mediation services or act as mediators. Instead, our role is to represent you at mediation as your legal advocate.

This means we:

• Prepare you in advance so you know what to expect

• Help you set realistic goals and know where to hold firm

• Present your case clearly and strategically during the session

• Negotiate on your behalf and respond to offers in real time

• Ensure that any final agreement protects your rights and your future

• Help you avoid legal pitfalls and one-sided settlements

You’ll never be alone during mediation — you’ll have experienced legal representation at your side throughout the process.

Why Mediation Representation Matters

Many people go into mediation unprepared, thinking it’s just a formality or that they can “work it out” with their ex. Unfortunately, that approach can lead to unfair agreements, long-term financial issues, or parenting arrangements that simply don’t work.

When you work with our firm, we help you:

• Understand your legal rights and options before the session

• Recognize manipulative tactics or bad-faith negotiating from the other side

• Identify areas for compromise vs. non-negotiable terms

• Prevent emotional decision-making that could cost you long term

• Make clear, confident decisions — not rushed ones

We’ve represented hundreds of clients in mediation throughout Round Rock, Georgetown, and Williamson County, and we know how to guide you through high-stress sessions with clarity and purpose.

High-Conflict Mediation Representation

Many of our clients are dealing with high-conflict situations — whether it’s a narcissistic ex, a custody battle that’s spiraling out of control, or financial disputes involving hidden assets or unfair demands. In these cases, mediation can feel overwhelming or even pointless.

We get it. That’s why we take a tactical, steady approach to mediation representation for clients in high-conflict family law cases. We focus on:

• Setting firm boundaries with the opposing party

• Avoiding emotional traps or distractions

• Keeping the focus on the children’s best interests

• Creating clear, enforceable settlement terms

• Preventing last-minute pressure to accept a bad deal

Even when mediation doesn’t fully resolve the case, it often narrows the issues for trial — saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.
