Odessa Divorce Mediator
Alternatives to Litigation for Florida Divorces
At Reineke Mediations, our Odessa attorney/mediator Beth Reineke brings over 30 years of experience litigating, mediating, and settling divorce cases to each session she facilitates.
A Florida Supreme Court Certified Divorce Mediator, Beth provides direct access to mediation sessions, virtually or in person, so divorcing couples, parents, and others can work together to craft personalized solutions that meet their unique family law needs and circumstances.
In smaller towns like Odessa, where just over 7,800 residents share nearly six square miles of space, community norms and values may significantly affect how their personal and family lives unfold. In addition to its other essential advantages, family law mediation offers a confidential environment where parties can discuss sensitive issues without fearing public exposure. This can be particularly important in towns like Odessa, where community members may be more likely to know each other personally, and privacy concerns may be heightened.
Our Pasco County mediation attorney believes everyone should have access to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) options that allow them to reach agreements that reflect their unique needs and circumstances.
Whether you both live in Florida or if one spouse lives out of state or out of the country, our skilled Odessa mediator provides in-person and virtual ADR sessions that facilitate productive discussions between couples to reach mutually acceptable solutions to all your unique divorce and family-related issues, including child custody, spousal support, property division, and more.

Is Mediation Suitable for All Florida Family Law Cases?
Successful mediation relies on both party’s desire to collaborate and negotiate in good faith and can be highly effective for many family law cases, including:
Mediation can help divorcing couples reach agreements on issues such as division of assets and debts, child custody, visitation schedules, child support, and spousal support. It allows couples to maintain more control over the outcome of their divorce and often leads to more amicable resolutions than litigation.
- Child Custody and Visitation
Mediation provides parents with a collaborative forum to develop parenting plans that consider the best interests of their children. It allows parents to constructively address concerns regarding custody, visitation schedules, holidays, and other essential parenting decisions.
Mediation can assist parents in reaching agreements on child support payments and related financial matters. By working with a mediator, parents can consider factors such as each parent’s income, the child’s needs, and any exceptional circumstances to arrive at fair and sustainable child support arrangements.
- Modification of Court Orders
Mediation can provide a flexible and cost-effective way to modify existing orders when circumstances change after a family court order has been issued, such as changes in income or living arrangements. Parties can negotiate modifications to custody, visitation, support, or other provisions without formal litigation.
In high-conflict custody cases or situations where parents struggle to communicate effectively, parenting coordination through mediation can help parents work together to resolve disputes and implement parenting plans.
