Mediation Lawyers

Florida, is a no-fault state. So, under-Florida law, divorce is granted without grounds for “cause” or finding “fault”, as long as the marriage is “irretrievably broken”.

Consequently, most uncontested divorce settlements are fairly easy to acquire and are less expensive than contested divorce settlements.

Mediation is required by Florida divorce law in all contested cases.

Likewise, mediation process is often the best chance for the parties to have a say in how their case is resolved. So, a Certified Mediator facilitates discussion between the two parties and their attorneys to resolve issues and find common ground.

A judge will decide the ultimate outcome when parties cannot resolve all issues.

Public Or Private Divorce Cases

There are actually two different ways to mediate a divorce case: publicly, through the county, or privately.

One major consideration is that during mediation, the parties can help craft a resolution. It may be more creative and more tailored to their unique needs than a judge could after a contested trial or hearing.
