Family Mediations
At some point in a divorce proceeding parties may request, or the Court may order mediation of the case. Mediation is a process for resolving disputes that allows parties, with the help of a mediator, to come to an agreement on contended issues.
Mediation Process
A Florida Supreme Court certified mediator conducts the mediation according to rules and statutes requiring mediators to:
Remain neutral – not biased toward either party
Not force either party into an agreement
Always work for the mutual good of the parties.
Mediation opens lines of communication and allows parties to explore all settlement options in order to resolve disputes. Everything said during mediation is confidential and (except as provided by law) may not be repeated to anyone other than the other party and/or the party’s attorney. Mediation gives parties more control over the outcome of their case, normally allows the case to be resolved sooner, and can save on the overall expense involved in the case.
