Attorney for Post-Divorce Mediation in Broward and Miami-Dade County
What is Post Divorce Mediation?
Post-Divorce Mediation
Your original divorce agreement was created based on your family’s needs and circumstances at that time. However, situations can change to the point where the original agreement no longer makes sense or becomes impossible to follow. When that happens, you can modify it to ensure you remain in compliance or avoid undue hardship.
You might find that you have to go to court to modify alimony, child support, time-sharing, and other important matters, but that often is not the case. As certified mediators, our attorneys can help you negotiate with the other party to modify agreements without being at the mercy of the court.
It is vital to act quickly in these matters quickly to avoid non-compliance. You will face severe consequences if you fail to comply with a court order, including possible jail time. Thus, reach out to our firm to discuss your situation with a post-divorce mediation attorney.

- Time-sharing plan

How Does Mediation Work?
Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process that allows people with different needs and viewpoints to come together to create an agreement. You can choose to retain counsel to represent you during mediation or go through the process without personal counsel present. In either instance, the mediator will serve as a neutral third party and use non-adversarial conflict resolution strategies to facilitate an agreement.
During the first mediation session, the mediator will provide an overview of the process and review the facts. Next, each party will communicate his or her wants and needs, and the mediator will search for common ground. Finally, the neutral mediator will discuss possible solutions to help you reach a settlement on the modification.
Our certified mediators can serve as neutral third parties or represent you during mediation. First, contact us to discuss your situation with a post-divorce mediation attorney. Then, we can provide information to help you decide how to approach mediation.
Advantages Of Post-divorce Mediation
Many people prefer mediation to litigation when modifying court-approved agreements. First, you remain in control during mediation. As a non-binding form of conflict resolution, you are not required to sign an agreement unless you wish to do so. On the other hand, the judge makes the final decision when a matter is litigated, meaning you might not be pleased with the results.
Mediation is also faster and more cost-effective than litigation, and the information shared is kept private. This is especially important when children are involved. You do not want to air your grievances in front of the world, so mediation allows you to protect your children and yourself.
Finally, mediation can help facilitate a better relationship between the parties involved. By communicating in a non-adversarial way, you can move past some of the anger involved with your divorce, making it easier to co-parent.
What If You Do Not Reach An Agreement?
While mediation is often effective, it is possible to fail to come to an agreement. If this happens to you, you can litigate the case instead. If you retain your own post-divorce mediation attorney for mediation, he or she can help you file the appropriate paperwork with the court. If you did not hire an attorney, the neutral mediator cannot represent you in court. Instead, you will need to seek new counsel.
How Long Does Mediation Take?
Mediation is typically faster than litigating post-divorce matters. However, the time spent in mediation depends on factors such as the willingness to compromise and the number of orders you wish to modify. Contact our post-divorce mediation attorney to learn more about the expected duration.
