In almost every contested divorce in Tennessee, since The Tennessee legislature enacted T.C.A. 36-4-131(a) where each party of a divorce must attempt to settle their disputes through this process, mediation will be required by a judge prior to setting a trial date.

Settlement: The Agreement is binding Assuming the case settles at mediation, clients must understand that the Mediation Settlement Agreement is a binding contract which can be enforced in a court of law, and that the parties may not later change their minds.

Types of Divorce in Tennessee Agreeing on how to split marital assets via mediation can save a substantial amount of time and money. However, keep in mind that even if the divorce is uncontested, you are still required to wait the mandatory 60 days after filing with the court before your divorce can be finalized.

In the event that your settlement negotiations or mediation fail, the next step is trial. Some Tennessee courts will force a trial date on the parties in order to give them a deadline for negotiations. Other courts will require the parties to ask for a trial date.

If you reached a complete settlement agreement in mediation before starting the official divorce process, you'll then need to prepare and file your divorce papers in the Tennessee courts.
