Family
Law Litigation
Sometimes
it is necessary to go to Court to let a Judge decide disputes
between family members. This can be for a dissolution of
marriage [a divorce], for alimony or child support unconnected
with divorce, for determination of paternity for a child
born out of wedlock, for enforcement of a judgment for support
or for modification because of a substantial change of significant
and material circumstances.

Mensh has been serving the residents of the West coast of
Florida in Family Law litigation for thirty-nine years. He

Family
Mediation
Family mediation refers to mediation of family
matters in general and divorce cases, including child-related
issues. All matters may be considered in mediation, including
parental responsibility and residence of children, equitable
distribution of assets and liabilities, alimony, child support,
visitation, and any other matter in dispute.
These mediations are generally conducted in
one session of two to three hours. Often times it is necessary
for the parties to return if further information is needed
by them before making decisions.
What goes on in mediations is confidential
and privileged if the mediation is court ordered or if the
parties agree to keep it confidential. The only exceptions
are certain violations of the law which are never confidential.
The Mediator is a neutral, impartial facilitator whose job
is to assist the parties to reach a mutual understanding
and agreement. The Mediator is not a decision maker; a Judge
is the decision maker. In mediation, the parties are able
to make their own decisions about their families, their assets
and liabilities, and their respective futures.
The cost of mediation is a fraction of the
costs of litigating claims before the Court. Usually, the
parties equally pay the cost of the Mediator, which is due
and payable at the conclusion of each session. Fees should
be agreed upon prior to the commencement of any mediation
process, and the parties are fully informed in advance. At
any time, the parties may agree to terminate mediation if
necessary.
If you feel this would be an appropriate means
to a resolution for your family you may call our office (727)
345-7170 and we will schedule a conference for you and the
other party.
