ORLANDO DIVORCE MEDIATION
A Civilized Alternative
|
You may be unclear about how pro se divorce mediation works. To understand
the process you first need to understand the role of the mediator.
A professional mediator is a neutral third party that helps people make difficult
decisions. In a divorce context, a certified family mediator is trained specifically to
assist couples in coming to a decision about issues such as responsibility for
children, spousal support or property division.
Once the husband and wife have come to an agreement the mediator drafts a
mediation agreement that lists all of the decisions. The mediation agreement will
contain much of the necessary information that will be needed to file the
paperwork to complete the divorce process. This way, you make the decisions
about your family's future--not a judge.
Getting started
Step 1: Either the husband or the wife can contact our office to start the process.
We will ask you a few basic questions.
Step 2: We speak with the other spouse to verify that they also want to
participate in divorce mediation.
Step 3: After we receive confirmation from the other spouse we will schedule your
first mediation session. Also, prior to the first session we will send you written
information that will help you get the most out of our services.
Step 4: The husband, the wife and the mediator meet for as many mediation
sessions as are needed to reach an agreement. Each session is scheduled for
2.5 hours. The mediator drafts the mediation agreement and provides a signed
copy to both parties. Payment for the session is made at each session.
