Mediating Property & Support Agreements in Florida

Through mediation, parties in a dispute agree to work with a neutral mediator to seek a private resolution. Some of the best mediators are lawyers who know firsthand how a judge and jury would likely make a conclusion about any disagreement under consideration.

In a high-net-worth divorce, or any divorce, asset division and problematic aspects of complex divorcesmay be resolved through mediation, with these advantages:

  • The parties involved will retain control over the process, including scheduling
  • Deliberations will be private rather than public, as in the case of a court trial
  • Many people find mediation to be more conciliatory and less acrimonious than a court trial
  • Mediation often helps to keep legal costs down in a complex divorce

Regardless of who mediates, their role is to help the participants determine what is most important to them in an agreement and to assist them in achieving a mutually satisfactory result. The mediator facilitates communication and helps guide the participants to an agreement. The mediator may help the participants memorialize the agreement in writing. Our attorneys guide our clients through the mediation process and memorialize any resolutions in a comprehensive, carefully written settlement agreement.

Once signed, your marital settlement agreement becomes legally binding and cannot usually be overturned, such as when one party omitted or misstated key information. If the judge finds the agreement acceptable, the court approves it and incorporates it into the final judgment of dissolution of marriage.
