Step 1: To prepare for mediation with Marcel Gamboa, gather all the documents that you will need. This may include bank statements, mortgage statements, appraisals, proof of income, taxes for the last 3 years, proof of all assets, house inventory, credit card statements and all debt statements.

Step 2: Upload all documents in Divorcesavvy.com. While this is optional, it will make the process smoother for all parties and nothing will be forgotten. If you chose not to use this program, please upload all information in an easily readable Excel Spreadsheet.  Once you have your spreadsheets, please email to [email protected].

Step 3: Pay for the mediation so your spot is secured. Fees can be paid via check, Zelle or Venmo.  Paypal and debit/credit card are also accepted, but will incur a 3.5% fee. If paying by check, it can be mailed to Marcel Gamboa, 5870 Highway 6 N, Suite 310, Houston, Texas 77084.  Please note payment must be received at least 7 days prior to mediation.

Step 4: Do you have an attorney? Make sure you have coordinated the mediation with your attorney and that everyone is aware of time and place.

If you do not have an attorney, have you contacted a family attorney that will “paper” the case? A list will given in your welcoming package and you are required to have one that will submit the Mediated Settlement Agreement if one is reached.

Step 5: Show up to the mediation on time. If the mediation is conducted via zoom, check your connection prior. It is vital that all zoom mediations are conducted with a good wi-fi and no interruptions.
