When is mediation appropriate in my Tampa FL divorce or family law case?

It depends on your case. There are some times that mediation would be appropriate to be conducted before you even file the action. Other times, mediation would be conducted during the pendency of your case and would be court-ordered by the judge preferably so that each party complies.  It is usually better to file your case prior to attending mediation as it puts a time limit on conducting the mediation and there is financial disclosure required during the divorce or family law action which is helpful in resolving actions involving assets, debts, alimony, child support, etc.  All Family Law Group, P.A. offers a free consultation to discuss your options.
