Benefits of Mediation Services

Tampa/Brandon divorce mediation options

Divorce mediation is growing in popularity because it offers a faster, more affordable, and less contentious way to resolve the issues arising from separation and divorce.  Quinn Law Firm, P.A. offers experienced divorce mediation to couples in the Tampa/Brandon area.

What is divorce mediation?

Divorce mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution.  In a Brandon divorce mediation, the spouses work together with Mary Elizabeth Quinn, the firm's founder and managing partner.  Ms. Quinn is a trained mediator who acts as a neutral third party, representing neither individual but rather facilitating the effort to resolve their disagreements.

Why seek divorce mediation in Brandon?

Through divorce mediation, you reduce the costs of resolving marital conflicts that is typical in traditional divorces.  And the process takes weeks or months, not years, as is common in a traditional Florida divorce.  When both parties come to the table in an atmosphere of cooperation, the continuity of a civil relationship after the divorce is much more likely—and highly beneficial when children are involved.

What a Brandon divorce mediator does

As your divorce mediator in Brandon, Ms. Quinn’s primary goal is to assist in the resolution of any conflict.  She ensures that both of you have an equal voice in the divorce mediation process and that you are each comfortable with the terms of the resulting agreement.

Mandatory mediation in Florida

In some cases, a judge may require the couple in a contested divorce to attempt mediation.  If we are not already representing you in your divorce litigation, we are fully prepared to step in and assist you and your spouse with your court-ordered mediation. 

In a mandatory mediation, the spouses may be able to resolve less contentious matters, such as child custody, while leaving more difficult issues, such as property division, to the judge to determine.  When you determine custody arrangements through mediation, you can add a provision in your divorce agreement that requires you both to return first to the mediation process to resolve future custody and visitation disputes.
