How does mediation work in Hernando County?
Hernando County is in the Fifth Judicial Circuit, which runs mediation circuit-wide through contracted family mediators and volunteer county mediators [1]. The circuit says domestic relations mediations are generally held remotely and that higher-income families (over $100,000 combined), county civil cases over $15,000 and all circuit civil cases fall outside the subsidized program [1]. Eligible family litigants pay $60 or $120 per person per scheduled session, per Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2) [2]. Dependency and small claims mediations are set by court order [1]. Because the circuit does not publish a Hernando mediation office, the details here are circuit-level. Pinellas parties who want a mediator of their own choosing can start with the list below.
