You meet with your mediator, a neutral party, who represents neither side. The Mediator will guide you through each issue during the divorce mediation process; the State of Florida has requirements for the process and you will make decisions regarding your own unique family situation. Your mediator facilitates communication to encourage well-rounded discussions. This meeting occurs in a comfortable, private conference room or via Zoom and usually lasts 2 – 3 hours. Our experienced divorce mediator handles all aspects of divorce issues, including property division, spousal support, and child custody. Your mediator will provide you a financial affidavit that each of you must fill out (the State requires this). These affidavits give you a real sense of your financial situation and will be helpful moving forward in completing other necessary paperwork.
When children are involved, parents must consider what is in the best interest of the child. Both parents discuss time-sharing and develop a calendar with the assistance of the divorce mediator. Child support is calculated using the parent’s individual monthly income as well as how many overnights each parent has during the calendar year.

Florida recognizes three different terms of marriage when considering alimony. Short-term, moderate-term and long-term:
Parties routinely ask how much alimony am I going to have to pay? Or, if they are the spouse receiving alimony, how much alimony am I entitled to? In Florida, there is no set formula to calculate alimony. The legal standard in determining alimony is need and ability to pay. Your mediator will guide you through the various types of alimony during the divorce mediation process so that you understand which type and amount that would be appropriate for your situation.
