Divorce Mediation

Attorney Nicol is certified as a Family Law Mediator by the Florida Supreme Court. Our firm provides divorce mediation services. Depending on your situation and your relationship with the other party, mediation may be worthwhile. Mediation provides a faster and less expensive approach to divorce settlement agreements.

• Property division: In Florida, property, assets, and debts are subject to equitable division. In cases that are not mediated, the division is at the judge's discretion. We strive to ensure your economic and non-economic contributions are considered in the division.
• Spousal support (alimony): The amount of spousal support will vary from person to person and will depend upon a variety of factors. These factors include the length of the marriage and the earning capacity of the dependant spouse.
• Child custody and visitation: Our firm focuses on the best interest of the children and the long-term parent-child relationship.
• Child support: Florida has guidelines that clearly outline the amount of child support this is owed based upon a number of factors.

Of course, mediation is not for everyone, and our firm is fully prepared to negotiate vigorously on behalf of our clients. We strive to find solutions that work for our clients now and in the long-term.

Military Divorce
