Parties can resolve their issues without the costs and stress associated with court appearances.
Divorce and Family Issues are self-referred to CMC by individuals and are referred from Knoxville Legal Aid, the University of Tennessee Legal Clinic and other social agencies. The majority of the referrals are for divorces. When parties reach an agreement, they are responsible for having their mediated marital dissolution agreements filed in the court. Mediators do not provide legal advice. Legal Aid assists many low-income parties in filing their agreements.
