How does mediation work in Madison County?
Madison County litigants use the Third Judicial Circuit's court mediation program, which handles divorce, child support, paternity and parental-responsibility disputes for all seven counties in the circuit [1]. Most family cases go through the court program unless the couple's combined income tops $100,000; in that case, Administrative Order 2009-001 presumes private mediation [1]. Program rates, set by Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2), are $60 or $120 per person per session [2]. For contested small claims, plan to mediate on your pre-trial date at no cost [1]. The circuit's family mediation number is 386-719-1461; it does not publish a Madison office. For a privately retained, certified mediator, see the directory below.
