In Florida, couples can mediate and obtain a divorce without attorneys (a pro se divorce). If litigation is not desired or necessary, family mediation can be a good option. Family mediation helps couples reach an agreement that they both can accept. Together, couples decide the terms of the divorce agreement. Often, couples are able to do this better than a judge.
Family mediation also helps parents work out how to care for their children after the divorce or separation. A primary goal of family mediation is to find solutions that are in the best interest of children. Parents can keep some control over the decisions about lives of their children.
Family mediation can be helpful in finding resolution to a number of other issues including:
- Parent/teen conflicts
- Sibling disputes
- Open adoption
- Pre-nuptial agreements
- Family estate planning
- Family group decision-making
