Mediation is an effective way of settling family law disputes without the necessity of extensive litigation. Mediation allows the parties to work together with the assistance of a neutral third party to come to an amicable resolution of their dispute. Many Florida courts require parties in family law cases to mediate all issues prior to a final hearing or trial. Some courts also require mediation of temporary relief issues prior to a temporary relief hearing. Arriving at a mediated agreement allows parties to have control over the outcome of their case, rather than placing their family in the hands of the court. Courts have an immense amount of discretion of family law matters. While it is not typical for both parties in a family law matter to achieve their “best case scenario” in a mediated agreement, it is highly likely that an agreement will not result in either party’s “worst case scenario.” Family law matters are highly emotional, and involve some the most personal and intimate details of one’s life. Mediation empowers the parties to have some control over the outcome of their case. Mediation can also be far less expensive than litigating a case through trial.
