Mediation can be an effective way to reach a settlement in Orlando area divorces. In fact, when parties are struggling to reach an agreement, mediation is required before setting a trial in an Orange County divorce. There are times when some, but not all, issues settle in mediation. A partial mediated settlement agreement may be reached on one or several of the issues. The outstanding issues will then be brought to trial and the decision will be made by the judge.
Reaching even a partial agreement in Central Florida mediation can save couples time, money and emotional duress. Be certain that your experienced Orlando divorce attorney understands your position on each of the issues before attending mediation. Because the mediation process is confidential, negotiations during mediation can not be brought to the court room. This allows for more substantive negotiations.
