Family Law Mediation is a non-adversarial process where an impartial third-party, known as the Mediator, assists the spouses or co-parents in resolving their dispute while maintaining control over the process. The Family Lawyers at The Marks Law Firm, P.A., help guide our Clients through this alternative dispute resolution process which empowers the parties to facilitate a mutually acceptable agreement. In Florida, parties involved in a Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) proceeding are required to attend Mediation before moving toward a Hearing or Trial and each Florida County has a Mediation Department to assist with the process. The Marks Law Firm, P.A. also works regularly with Private Mediators to help Clients resolve their matter more efficiently and with less expense. Our very own Attorney, Amy Mitchell, is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator. She is dedicated to facilitating settlements that are equitable, practical, and ultimately bring closure to Litigation.
Divorce Mediation is a potential alternative to resolve your matter without the cost, both financially and personally, that usually accompanies Contested Hearings or a full Trial. Through Orlando Mediation, the parties maintain control over the result through negotiation and discussion, which generally is preferred to surrendering control to a Judge who may or may not consider your unique goals and needs. Mediation is completely confidential, which is particularly important in Family Law cases where personal and sensitive issues may be discussed. The Family Law Attorneys at The Marks Law Firm, P.A. have significant experience working with Clients through Mediation and have found it to be a fruitful and positive experience for most Clients.
Ultimately, Mediation provides the opportunity for Pro Se parties to obtain a timely and fair resolution of their case, and The Marks Law Firm, P.A. is here to offer support to individuals in that situation, when appropriate.
