How does mediation work in Indian River County?
Indian River County is one of four counties in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, which operates a circuit-wide Mediation Program rather than separate county offices [1]. Families in divorce, paternity and similar cases may use the program if their annual combined gross income is $100,000 or less, and for now all family mediations are held remotely [1]. The circuit's web page does not post a fee schedule; where a court program provides family mediation, Fla. Stat. § 44.108 sets $60 per person per session for combined income under $50,000 and $120 from $50,000 to $100,000 [2]. We found no Indian River-specific mediation details online, so call the program at 772-807-4370 with questions [1]. Certified private mediators serving Indian River County are listed below.
