Appellate mediators in Broward County, FL

How does mediation work in Broward County?

Broward County is covered by the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit's Court Mediation and Arbitration Program (CMAP), located in the Broward County Courthouse, 201 SE 6th Street, West Wing Tower, Room 19150, Fort Lauderdale; main line (954) 831-6077 [1]. Family mediation requires a case filed in Broward and a family mediation order signed by a Broward judge, and it is limited to parties under the Legislature's $100,000 combined income cap [1]. The statutory fee is $60 per person per session under $50,000 combined income and $120 from $50,000 to $100,000 [2]. County civil and small claims cases of $15,000 or less, including landlord-tenant disputes, may be ordered to court mediation; small claims and residential evictions carry no statutory fee [1][2]. CMAP also keeps a rotation list for circuit civil referrals to private mediators [1]. Certified private mediators serving Broward are listed below.
