How does mediation work in Calhoun County?
Calhoun County cases are heard in the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit, and the circuit's family mediation program covers Calhoun even though its county court mediation service does not; the circuit lists county mediation only for Bay, Holmes, Jackson and Washington [1]. Contested divorce, support, property and parenting-time disputes are routinely ordered to mediation [2]. To qualify for the court program, the parties' combined gross income cannot exceed $100,000, and the session fee is $60 or $120 per person depending on income, per Fla. Stat. § 44.108 [2][3]. Couples over that limit are pointed to the Florida courts' online mediator search, filtered to Circuit 14 [2]. Questions go to mediation@jud14.flcourts.org [1]. Because no court-run small claims or civil mediation is listed for Calhoun, those parties, and higher-income families, may want to review the certified private mediators below.
- Fourteenth Judicial Circuit – Alternative Dispute Resolution/Mediation
- Fourteenth Judicial Circuit – Family Mediation
- Fla. Stat. § 44.108 (2025), Funding of mediation and arbitration
