Mediation is flexible
Mediation Services
Divorce mediation is very simply a meeting with you, your spouse, partner, or co-parent, and the mediator. Sometimes it takes several meetings to work through the issues and reach an agreement. It is not therapy or counseling.
Real Divorce Solutions provides a supportive pathway through mediation, an alternative that emphasizes collaboration, communication, and mutual respect. Divorce mediation is a facilitated process where a neutral mediator assists couples in navigating through the crucial decisions that shape their futures post-separation. This includes discussions about financial matters, property distribution, and, when applicable, child custody and co-parenting agreements. The aim is to sculpt mutually agreed-upon solutions in a structured, yet empathetic environment, steering clear of the contentious atmosphere often found in courtrooms.
Choosing mediation at Real Divorce Solutions allows couples to retain a greater degree of control over the resolutions that will influence their lives following the separation. This often translates into outcomes that are more tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of both parties. Furthermore, the cooperative nature of mediation often paves the way for healthier interactions in the future, particularly pivotal for those who will continue to co-parent. With our experienced mediators guiding the conversations to ensure they remain productive and solution-oriented, we strive to navigate you through to a resolution that upholds the dignity, emotional well-being, and best interests of all involved.
Benefits of Mediation
Is mediation right for you?
While mediation isn't right for every situation, it is often the path that helps keep relationships intact and is a more affordable solution than litigation.
No Attorneys Needed
Everything can be handled without hiring lawyers. Your mediator is also an attorney who will ensure your settlement is legally enforceable.
It's Affordable
Mediation costs a fraction of a typical divorce case, often less than the cost to retain one lawyer to represent you.
Compliance
Mediated settlements have a much higher compliance rate because the parties created the terms themselves rather than the court.
Faster than Litigation
Most mediations conclude in just a few sessions.
Private and Confidential
Your private disputes will not be aired in the public court system.
Retain Court Rights
If an agreement is not reached, you still have the right to pursue a traditional divorce.
Less Stress and Healthier
The decision-making process can serve as a model for future communications.
For the Kids
You'll spare your kids a public and protracted divorce. They will also see it was more important to work together than to fight.
Uncontested Divorce
If you reach an agreement, an Uncontested Divorce can be quickly and easily completed.
How mediation can help you
Mediation Services
Explore a supportive path through separation with Real Divorce Solutions, where our mediation services offer a constructive environment for all parties, married or unmarried, to collaboratively navigate issues of alimony, child custody, and support. Our mediators facilitate discussions, helping you shape mutually beneficial agreements that prioritize stability and well-being for all involved. Choose a process where your voice is valued and every solution is crafted with care.
Unmarried Parties
Although many issues are the same as for married partners, there are numerous issues that are significantly different under Florida law. If you have children together, simply being named on the birth certificate is not enough by itself to establish paternity. Both parents can mediate parental rights & obligations, time-sharing, and child support in mediation. Often unmarried parties own a house together and need to address ownership, obligations, etc. These and other legal issues can be fully addressed at mediation.
Alimony
There are no formulas or calculations that are consistently used to make this determination and every judge sees alimony differently. By addressing your specific circumstances privately in mediation, you will have more certainty and control over the result.
Child Custody
Child Custody battles are incredibly emotional and challenging. The best way to address custody, also known as time-sharing, and other matters concerning your children is to work through the issues in mediation, rather than an exhausting court battle.
Child Support
Florida law sees child support as a right of the child and that child support cannot be waived. It is essential to ensure this is done correctly and carried through.
Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is very simply a meeting with you, your spouse, partner, or co-parent, and the mediator. Sometimes it takes several meetings to work through the issues and reach an agreement. It is not therapy or counseling. Due to advancements in technology, many times we can conduct mediation remotely through zoom or even a series of phone calls and emails with the parties. This allows comfort, flexiblity and space to thoughtfully resolve your case.
