Divorce mediation attorneys in Monroe County, FL

How does mediation work in Monroe County?

Monroe County is the sole county in the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit. Its Family Court Services office administers a Family Mediation Program authorized by Family Law Rule 12.740 and Administrative Order 5.037 [1]. The court may refer family cases to the program when the parties' combined income is no more than $100,000 a year; higher-income cases are referred to certified private mediators [1]. A three-hour session costs $60 per party below $50,000 combined income and $120 from $50,000 to $100,000, paid in advance to the Clerk, matching Fla. Stat. § 44.108 [1][2]. Family court services operate in Key West at the Freeman Justice Center, 302 Fleming Street, and in Marathon and Plantation Key; the circuit's main number is (305) 292-3423 [1].
