Family Law issues will generally lead to mediation as most courts in the State of Florida require the parties to attend mediation prior to a hearing on any matter.
“Pro se” simply means you are not represented by an attorney. If you are scheduling a mediation, it is important you understand the following:
- I cannot be your attorney or give you any legal advice. My sole role is to be a neutral and assist you to a resolution of the issues in your case
- The scheduling fee must be paid within 48 hours of scheduling your mediation. If the fee is not paid, your case will be removed from my calendar. The scheduling fee can be paid through my website via the Payment tab.
- I do not do consultations. All mediations must be booked through my online calendar and coordinated with the opposing party.
- All mediations are confidential and therefore only the parties are able to be present unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties may not consult with others during the mediation (except for their attorney) without the other party’s consent.
If you have further questions regarding the process, my blogs and “Why Mediate” tab has information that should answer all of your questions. I look forward to mediating your case.
