Mediation

Florida Divorce Mediation Lawyer

Divorce can be one of the most difficult experiences of a person’s life. Unfortunately, when many people imagine divorce, they think of heated courtroom exchanges and many months of expensive and tedious family court proceedings. While some couples do choose to litigate their divorces, and many divorces will require some measure of formal legal review in litigation, it is possible to streamline your divorce significantly by taking advantage of alternative dispute resolution.

Helping Florida Clients Resolve Their Divorces Through Private Mediation

Johnson O’Keefe specializes in helping Florida clients understand alternative dispute resolution for divorce. Mediation has quickly become the preferred method of resolving divorces privately in Florida. As long as both spouses are willing to negotiate, divorce mediation can help them have more control over the outcome of their divorce proceedings. Johnson O’Keefe offers comprehensive divorce mediation services to clients in the Florida area, and our team has years of experience helping clients through difficult divorces. If there is room for you to explore alternative dispute resolution, even in a contentious and emotionally charged divorce, we will help you explore it to the fullest.

What Is Divorce Mediation?

Alternative dispute resolution allows a divorcing couple to streamline their divorce, privately resolve some issues that a judge would otherwise settle, and customize various aspects of their divorce agreements. The process requires both spouses to meet privately with their respective attorneys and collaboratively negotiate terms for their divorce. Mediation is a specific form of alternative dispute resolution that unfolds under the direction of a mediator, a neutral third party who helps the couple draft their divorce order.

The mediator cannot offer either spouse any direct legal advice, nor may they have any conflicts of interest that would favor either spouse. The mediator is typically a family lawyer who has experience drafting divorce agreements. They can answer general questions about the legal statutes that apply to divorce and will keep conversations focused and productive.

As long as both spouses are willing to try it, mediation can help them both save a tremendous amount of time and money on dissolution proceedings. When a divorcing couple takes their case before a judge, it can potentially take months to resolve, and the judge has the final say on every aspect of their divorce order. Even if a divorcing spouse is convinced that a judge will see things their way, this is never a guarantee. Resolving as much as you can privately in mediation acts as a springboard in divorce proceedings, dramatically reducing the time the spouses must spend in litigation.

    “Everyone I dealt with at the firm was extremely professional, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable.”
    I worked with Elizabeth and she did way more for me than I thought possible. I was in a bad situation when I came in. She took my case then proceeded to go above and beyond until the very end. With them working my case my stress about the whole thing was pretty much gone.

    “My goals and the safety of my children were always the priority to the JOK team.”
    I called Johnson Law Group extremely frustrated and stressed with the process of my custody case. From the consultation to every conversation after, Elizabeth went out of her way to make sure that i was comfortable with all the matters and decisions. I highly recommend Elizabeth and the whole Johnson O'Keefe team to anyone going through custody matters. Elizabeth, Cassidy, and Paola were amazing, and made me feel like i was a friend, not just a client. I would happily use them again if needed.

    I HIGHLY recommend him and his legal team of paralegals and staff because I had a great experience with them. Myles is smart and savvy and fully committed to his clients as an attorney and mediator. He represented me in my divorce and when we went to court his talent and expertise rose to the top giving me confidence and inspiration during this hardship. I am so glad I had Johnson O'Keefe at my side! It made my divorce a little bit easier knowing this group had my back and worked hard to get me what was fair and equitable with the utmost care and concern for me as a client and most importantly as an individual.
