Mediation & Parent Coordination Lawyer Audrey A. Jefferis Can Help You

Mediation as a first step for divorcing couples is favored and facilitated by the law in Florida. In most counties, divorcing couples must attend mediation before they go to court at all. Mediation need not be merely the "required next step." Advantages of mediation, as a means of resolving differences prior to your divorce, include:

  • Economy
  • Family harmony
  • Confidentiality
  • Comfort
  • Candor
  • Saves time

Parent coordination is a very specific type of assistance available when parents experience persistent "high conflict" with each other after a dissolution of marriage or during a dissolution proceeding. Through Parent Coordination, parties must learn to focus on their children and parenting, rather than on themselves. The parent coordinator is appointed by the court either by agreement of the parties or by court order. Parent coordination focuses specifically on obligations to children during a divorce — high-conflict parenting issues that might otherwise be returned to court for stressful litigation.

Audrey A. Jefferis is a parent coordinator you can depend on when tensions and stakes are high. Her mediation and negotiation skills can help you to arrive at resolutions you might have never thought possible.

Mediation is the wave of the present, for many logical reasons. This important family law device has achieved positive results for families across the country. If you are considering mediation, or would like to discuss parent coordination, contact us. We can give you a closer look at the positives of both, as practiced by the law offices of Audrey A. Jefferis, P.A.
