How does mediation work in Marion County?

Marion County is part of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, which uses contracted mediators for family and dependency cases and volunteer certified mediators for county civil and small claims disputes [1]. Divorce and paternity mediations are usually held remotely, and judges use the circuit's Domestic Relations Order of Referral to Mediation, updated May 2025 [1]. Domestic relations cases where combined income exceeds $100,000 are not eligible for the subsidized program [1]. For eligible parties, Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2) sets fees at $60 or $120 per person per session [2]. The circuit lists no Marion-specific mediation office; questions go to the ADR Director through the circuit website. Otherwise, choose one of the certified mediators below.
