How does mediation work in Martin County?
Martin County cases fall under the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, and court mediation is coordinated by the circuit's Mediation Program, based at 250 NW Country Club Dr., Suite 217, Port St. Lucie [1]. The program covers three tracks: family cases for parties with combined gross income up to $100,000, small claims under $8,000, and county civil claims over $8,000 and under $50,000, where a judge may require mediation before trial [1]. Fees aren't listed on the circuit's site; state law fixes court-program charges at $60 or $120 per person per family session based on income, $60 per person in county cases up to $15,000, and nothing for small claims or residential evictions [2]. No Martin-specific procedures were posted. Certified private mediators serving Martin County appear below.
