Your terms. Not a judge's.
Mediation keeps the outcome of your divorce or custody matter in your hands, not the court's.
A settlement you shape.
Florida courts routinely order family cases to mediation before they can go to trial. Done well, it is not a formality. It is the one room where both sides control the result, privately and confidentially.
A mediator does not take sides and does not impose a ruling. The job is to move two people who disagree toward one agreement they can both sign, and to know when a deal is truly there.
A mediator who knows what trial costs.
After thirty years and hundreds of trials, Kevin knows exactly what a courtroom fight costs a family in money, time, and peace. That perspective carries weight at the table, and it is what moves both sides toward an agreement.
What we can resolve at the table.
Divorce settlements
The full terms of a dissolution, resolved in one agreement.
Parenting plans
Time-sharing schedules and decision-making both parents can live with.
Alimony and support
Spousal and child support terms grounded in Florida law.
Equitable distribution
Dividing marital assets and liabilities without a courtroom fight.
Paternity matters
Establishing rights and responsibilities outside of litigation.
Post-judgment changes
Updating agreements when life changes after the decree.
One day can end it.
Prepare
Both sides gather the financials and define what actually matters. A well-prepared mediation is usually a short one.
Mediate
A structured session, together and in private caucuses, working each issue until the gap closes or it is clear it cannot.
Sign
The agreement is put in writing before anyone leaves the room. In family cases, the court can adopt it into a final judgment.
Before you book.
Yes. Florida law makes mediation communications confidential and privileged, with narrow exceptions. What is said at the table cannot be used against you in court later.
