How does mediation work in Taylor County?
Taylor County cases are part of Florida's Third Judicial Circuit, which offers court mediation across its seven counties rather than through county-level offices [1]. When a small claims defendant disputes the claim at pre-trial, the judge will require mediation, normally the same day and free of charge [1]. For family disputes, fees are $60 per person (combined income under $50,000) or $120 per person ($50,000–$100,000) for each session, per Fla. Stat. § 44.108(2) [1][2]. Families earning more are presumed under Administrative Order 2009-001 to use a private mediator [1]. Call 386-719-1461 with questions, or review the certified private mediators that follow.
