Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical timeline for a divorce through mediation?
An uncontested divorce through mediation typically takes 6-8 weeks from the filing of the initial petition to the final judgment, depending on court availability. This is significantly faster than a litigated divorce, which can take a year or more.
How much does mediation cost compared to litigation?
The average cost of a mediated divorce with our firm is around $2,500, inclusive of document preparation. In contrast, litigated divorces often require $5,000-$10,000 retainers per spouse and can ultimately cost tens of thousands of dollars.
How do we choose the right mediator?
Look for a mediator who is certified, experienced in family law, and someone both you and your spouse feel comfortable with. A good mediator remains neutral, facilitates productive communication, and helps you explore creative solutions.
Do we have to be in the same room during mediation?
No. While joint sessions are common, we offer “caucus” mediation where spouses are in separate rooms (or separate Zoom breakout rooms). The mediator shuttles between you to negotiate terms, which is ideal for high-conflict situations.
Can I change my mind after mediation?
During the mediation process, nothing is binding until a formal Marital Settlement Agreement is signed by both parties. Once signed and filed with the court, it becomes a legally binding contract.
How do I know if my marriage is truly over?
This is a deeply personal decision. Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning the only requirement is that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” If you are unsure, we recommend consulting with a couples counselor before proceeding with mediation.
