Small claims & county court mediators in Nassau County, FL

How does mediation work in Nassau County?

Nassau County shares a scheduling desk with Duval in the Fourth Judicial Circuit's Alternative Dispute Resolution Unit, reachable at (904) 255-1090 [1]. The Unit's stated goal is to make mediation available to litigants with limited income in county, family and dependency matters [1]. In Nassau small claims, the judge may refer the case to a volunteer mediator at pre-trial, and parties can also request one; there is no charge [1]. When the Unit handles a family case, Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2) sets the fee at $60 or $120 per person per scheduled session depending on combined income [2]. Any signed agreement is filed with the court [1]. For private mediation, the certified mediators listed below serve Nassau.

1. Fourth Judicial Circuit – Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
2. Fla. Stat. § 44.108 (Funding of mediation and arbitration)
