Divorce Mediation helps spouses work through the issues that must be resolved before a divorce can be finalized. This may include property division, debts, alimony, parenting plans, timesharing, child support, and other financial or family concerns.
Attorney Jonathan Jacobs serves as a neutral and impartial mediator. He does not take sides and has no authority to decide the case. Instead, he helps both parties communicate, identify the issues, explore options, and work toward a practical agreement. With a great deal of knowledge, he can help you facilitate resolutions that make practical sense.
Divorce mediation may be a good fit if you want a more private, efficient, and cooperative way to resolve your case.
Family mediation is designed for parents and family members who need help resolving disputes outside of a trial setting. These cases may involve parenting plans, timesharing, child support, paternity, enforcement issues, or modifications of prior agreements or court orders.
Mediation gives both sides the opportunity to be heard while keeping the focus on solutions. When children are involved, the goal is to help parents create a workable plan that supports stability, communication, and the child’s best interests.
Paternity cases often involve important decisions about parental rights, timesharing, parenting schedules, decision-making, and child support. Mediation gives both parents a structured setting to discuss these issues and work toward an agreement.
Paternity mediation can help parents avoid unnecessary conflict and create a clear plan for the future. Whether you are establishing parental responsibilities for the first time or trying to resolve disagreements in an existing case, mediation can help move the conversation forward. Try to listen to one another, and not just react.
In Florida, what many people call “child custody” is usually addressed through parenting plans and timesharing schedules. These issues can be emotional, especially when parents disagree about school schedules, overnights, holidays, transportation, or decision-making.
Child custody and timesharing mediation helps parents discuss these concerns in a focused, respectful setting. The goal is to create a parenting plan that works for the children and gives both parents clear expectations moving forward.
Pro se mediation is for parties who do not have attorneys and want help resolving their divorce or family law case. If both sides are willing to participate in good faith, mediation can help self-represented parties reach agreements without turning every issue into a courtroom dispute.
Attorney Jacobs can help guide the mediation conversation so both parties understand what needs to be addressed, including parenting issues, support, property, debts, and other terms of settlement.
This option may be especially helpful for spouses or parents who want to save money, reduce conflict, and keep more control over the outcome.
Alimony can be one of the most difficult issues in a divorce. Spouses may disagree about whether alimony should be paid, how much should be paid, how long it should last, or what each party can realistically afford.
Alimony/spousal support mediation gives both sides a chance to discuss their income, expenses, needs, ability to pay, and settlement options in a private setting. Instead of leaving the issue entirely to a judge, mediation allows spouses to explore creative and practical solutions.
Child support mediation can help parents address original child support issues, enforcement concerns, or modification requests. Parents may need to discuss income, health insurance, vision, dental, childcare expenses, daycare, overnights, and other factors that affect support.
Mediation can help parents review the numbers, understand the disputed issues, and work toward a child support arrangement that is clear, realistic, and focused on the needs of the child.
Family law disputes are stressful enough without having to miss work or rearrange your entire schedule. Weekend divorce mediation is available for spouses and parents who need more flexibility.
Saturday mediation can be especially helpful for working professionals, busy parents, and parties who want to move their case forward without waiting weeks for a weekday opening.
Virtual mediation may also be available when attending in person is difficult.
Prenuptial agreements can be difficult to discuss, but mediation can make the process more productive. Instead of allowing the conversation to become tense or one-sided, mediation gives both future spouses a neutral setting to discuss expectations, financial concerns, and possible agreement terms.
Prenuptial agreement mediation can help couples address sensitive topics before marriage while preserving respect, communication, and trust.
Mediation gives you more control than litigation because the outcome depends on you. A judge can only make decisions based on the evidence and arguments presented in court. In mediation, the parties have more room to discuss practical solutions that fit their family, finances, schedules, and long-term goals. With us, in virtual privacy, you can talk about your daily realities and future plans as coparents and reason things through.
Mediation may help you:
Resolve disputes more efficiently (in just a half or full day)
Reduce unnecessary legal conflict (stop the spending now)
Keep sensitive family issues more private
Create customized parenting and financial agreements
Avoid the stress of trial when settlement is possible
Stay focused on problem-solving instead of blame (listen to each other)
Mediation is not about forcing an agreement and controlling the session. It is about creating a productive environment where both sides can work toward resolution.
Our cost for a Half-Day Mediation up to 4 hours is generally $1,000 for a weekday session and $1,250 for Saturday sessions. For couples who agree on most issues and need help resolving one or two sticking points, such as alimony or the timesharing schedule. Many family mediations (child support, paternity, parenting plan) fit comfortably in a half day.
Attorney Jonathan Jacobs brings extensive family law experience to the mediation process while remaining neutral. As a mediator, he does not represent either party, does not provide legal advice to one side against the other, and does not make decisions for the family. Instead, he helps people come to decisions on their terms.
His role is to help both parties communicate clearly, identify the issues, consider reasonable options, and work toward an agreement when possible.
This attorney-mediator approach can be especially valuable in divorce and family law cases because the issues are both legal and personal. The process requires patience, structure, and practical problem-solving.
Mediation should match real life. Most cases can be handled virtually by Zoom, allowing parties to participate from home, work, or separate locations. In-person mediation is also available in Clermont and Winter Park.
Weekend appointments are available for clients who need more flexibility because of work, parenting schedules, or travel.
