About Jan Walden

“For over 30 years that I have been a family and divorce mediator. I have not met parents who do not care about their children. They are sometimes totally in the dark about how to protect them as the divorce proceeds, but for the most part I believe they are teachable when it comes to the needs of their children as they transition to spending time with each parent in different homes.” Jan first trained as a divorce mediator in 1991 and has received extensive training from several nationally recognized mediation trainers. She’s continued her training by attending conferences and seminars throughout the country in an effort be informed of the most up to date research relating to the effects on children when their parents are not together. Served as president of the first statewide Mediation Association and Chair of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Tennessee Bar Association. Jan was a founding board member of both the Tennessee Association of Professional Mediators and the Middle Tennessee Collaborative Alliance. Member of the Tennessee Bar Association (Family Law and Dispute Resolution Sections), the Tennessee Association of Professional Mediators and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. Jan was listed as a Supreme Court Rule 31 Mediator at its inception.
