Family mediation is a non-adversarial process designed to resolve disputes in divorce, custody, or support matters through facilitated negotiation. In Florida, mediation is often court-ordered in family law cases, but parties may also choose it voluntarily. The objective is to reach a mutually acceptable agreement without litigation.

The process encourages open dialogue, confidentiality, and problem-solving with the assistance of a neutral third party. It can address division of assets, parenting plans, and support obligations with flexibility not available through court adjudication. Mediation is especially valuable in preserving relationships and minimizing the emotional toll of litigation.
