Do All Pinellas County Divorce Matters Have to Be Settled During Mediation?
Mediation is voluntary; parties can choose which issues they want to address in their sessions.
In many cases, parties opt for mediation to address various aspects of their divorce, including:
- Division of marital property, debts, real estate, investments, and other assets during mediation.
- Parenting plans that address child custody, visitation schedules, holidays, and other important parenting decisions.
- Child support payments and related financial matters are determined based on each parent’s income, the child’s needs, and any particular circumstances.
- Spousal support or alimony payments, considering factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, and financial needs.
- Communication strategies, resolving conflicts, and promoting cooperative co-parenting relationships post-divorce.
At Reineke Mediations, we firmly believe any aspect of divorce and custody can be resolved without a courtroom fight. Attorney Reineke has mediated complex property divisions, entrenched custody disputes, high-stakes alimony, and child support issues. She provides creative suggestions, gentle guidance, and reality-check wisdom from her years of experience in the courtroom.
Unlike litigated divorce cases, which can last months or even years, most pre-suit divorce mediations are completed, and agreements are signed and ready for filing within four to six weeks.
