Did you know that in the state of Tennessee, couples involved in a contested divorce are required to participate in mediation before proceeding to court? Mediation allows both parties to work toward resolution in a more private, respectful, and cost-effective environment.
Many people are surprised to learn that mediation isn’t limited to attorneys. In fact, other professionals, such as therapists, counselors, and accountants, can also become Rule 31 listed mediators, bringing unique perspectives and specialized skills to the process.
Traditionally, attorney-led mediation can cost between $200–$300 per hour, which can quickly add up. At True U Counseling Group, we believe that access to peaceful resolution shouldn’t create additional financial strain. Our Rule 31–certified mediators offer professional, compassionate mediation services at approximately half the traditional rate, helping clients navigate life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, respect, and understanding.
