Miami-Dade County is the only county in Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit, and its courts run an in-house Mediation/Arbitration Division that mediates family, juvenile dependency and county court cases, including landlord-tenant and small claims.[3] A judge sends a family case to mediation by signing an Order of Referral to Mediation (Family Division); parties then have 15 days to agree on a private mediator instead.[4] Court family mediation costs $60 per person per session when combined income is $50,000 or less and $120 between $50,000 and $100,000; couples above $100,000 must use a private mediator.[4][5] Landlord-tenant and small claims mediation is free.[6] The division sits in the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center, 20 NW 1st Avenue, Suite 11.226, (305) 349-7344.[3] Private certified mediators serving Miami-Dade are listed below.
