The goal of a Florida Mediator is to assist in the communication between the disputing parties, to search for mutually agreeable resolutions, and to help facilitate a resolution to the dispute. The mediator does not determine who is right or wrong, and the participants make the decision to agree to a resolution voluntarily.
A Florida Mediator should not coerce either party into making a decision or to participate in the mediation. The mediator must always remain impartial and must never impose a solution or direct a resolution of any issue. The mediator will discuss with both parties the potential outcomes of different resolutions, while always remaining completely impartial.
All communications made throughout the mediation are completely confidential. If you are not represented by an attorney in mediation, each party should have an opportunity to consult an attorney before entering into an agreement, but having an attorney present is not required.
If a court orders you to participate in mediation, but no agreement is reached, the mediator will inform the courts of the situation. If an agreement is reached, it will be put into writing and signed by both parties and their attorneys, if they have legal representation, and the courts will then be notified that a settlement agreement was reached.
