Mediation helps both parties resolve what they can before going to court. In Florida, you are required to go through mediation, often before even going to court. In mediation, you will work with Laura Magers, a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator. Laura's role is as a neutral facilitator, helping both parties explore their options in order to reach an agreement. Even though mediation may be court ordered, the benefits remain the same:
- Mediation reduces the amount of time spent in court
- Mediation reduces the financial cost of divorce
- Mediation empowers you to make the decisions that are best for you and your family
