ORLANDO DIVORCE MEDIATION
Many spouses looking to divorce may assume that the process of splitting assets, debts and discussing child-related issues will suck the next year out of their lives with back and forth court appearances, long drawn out negotiations and thousands of dollars spent to the legal firm of That’s Mine, This is Yours. Many couples do not realize that they can utilize mediators to finalize their dissolution of marriage. Mediation consists of each spouse coming together with a neutral third-party who will help navigate through all issues needed so that the parties can proceed with finalizing their divorce. As mediators are to remain unbiased and impartial to any one side, they may not provide legal advice. That is why it is necessary to have a skilled mediator that can keep all parties on subject and moving towards an agreeable resolution to the dispute. The main advantage of mediation is that it keeps you and your spouse in control of your own divorce, allowing you both to be more satisfied with the end results.
The Men’s Divorce Law Firm exhausts all possible dispute resolution services prior to proceeding with the assistance of the courts. In doing so, we have created trusting partnerships with Florida Supreme Court certified family law mediators that are able to guide you effectively and efficiently through all issues surrounding a dissolution of marriage.

PARENTING COORDINATOR
When separated, divorced or unmarried parents cannot agree on matters relating to their children, there are options for resolving these conflicts without the necessity of frequent and costly trips to the courthouse. A parenting coordinator is often a qualified family law lawyer or mental health professional that is trained to assist in resolving conflict between the parents with child-related issues as they arise. Continuous conflicts and disagreements between the parents can negatively impact the emotional and psychological well-being of the children involved. A parenting coordinator will listen to each parent and attempt to mediate a resolution to the disputes. If a mediated solution is not reached, then the parenting coordinator will make a decision, which always focuses on the best interest of the child and the family unit as a whole. Parenting coordination is designed to help parents work through their power struggles over the children and help in defining their new co-parenting roles to assist in future decision making.
Contact the Men’s Divorce Law Firm today should you need assistance in choosing a qualified and experienced parenting coordinator to finalize all of your child-related issues.
