Mediation in the family is a discussion. It takes place between two persons who have been in a relationship that is about to end. Family mediation can assist you in making long-term decisions. The mediator can guide the couples to resolve the family issues, such as child custody, education, contribution to the childhood and upkeep of children, estate division, inheritance, and other matters of similar nature.
Ultimately, it is the mediator’s responsibility to assist the disputed parties towards a previously agreed-upon goal. Mediation aims to arrive at a solution agreeable to both parties involved without assigning blame or accepting responsibility for the outcome. The agreement is supposed to result in a long-term improvement and settlement in the relationships between the mediated parties.
Family mediation is also an alternative method of family dispute resolution because it benefits from promoting amicable settlement and lowering the social and economic costs associated with divorce and separation for families, governments, and society. As a result, family mediation is particularly popular throughout the country, where it is considered an effective means of resolving family disputes.
However, for family mediation to succeed, the fundamental mediation principles must be adhered to, particularly the impartiality and independence of the mediator, which necessitates the participation of professional mediators.

Lloyd B.Sokolow will walk both parties through the concerns that will address in a Mediated Settlement Agreement. When the mediation process is complete, participants will have all they need to end their dispute.
Mediation is an excellent method of addressing family law conflicts without the need for continued litigation. It allows the parties to collaborate with the support of an independent third party to come to an agreeable resolution of their disagreement.
Most Florida courts compel litigants in family law disputes to arbitrate all pending a trial or final hearing.
Agreeing allows parties to influence the outcome of their suit rather than leaving their family issues to be solved by a court. Courts have an extraordinary measure of discretion on family law matters. While it is not common for both parties to get their most preferred result in a mediation agreement, it is unlikely that the agreement will end in either participant’s worst outcome.
Family law proceedings are highly emotional and contain the most private and sensitive parts of one’s life. Mediation allows the parties some influence on the result of their dispute. Mediation can also be significantly less expensive than fighting a dispute through trial.
