How does mediation work in Sumter County?

In Sumter County, court mediation is provided by the Fifth Judicial Circuit, not a county office [1]. Family mediations, covering property division, timesharing and support, are performed by circuit-contracted mediators and are typically remote, which can spare parties a trip to the courthouse [1]. A court order refers the case. If combined income is under $100,000, Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2) sets fees of $60 or $120 per person per session; above that, the circuit requires a private mediator [1][2]. Small claims mediation is scheduled by court order at no fee [1][2]. The private certified mediators listed below accept Sumter cases.

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