Mediation / Mother Or Father Coordination | PascoFamilyDivorce.com

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Mediators are third party neutrals who are certified by the State of Florida in dispute resolution.

Mediators are typically lawyers, counselors, psychologists and other professionals who have attended courses and receive continuing education to acquire and maintain their skills. The role of the mediator in a Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage action is to meet with all of the parties and try to assist the parties in resolving some or all of the issues by agreement rather than through the courts. Mediation is highly effective in family law cases.

At mediation, the parties are first advised that the matters discussed in mediation are confidential. There are a few limited exceptions to the confidentiality of mediation such as new/unreported allegations of child abuse and elder abuse. By and large, what is discussed in mediation remains confidential and not subject to disclosure. The mediator cannot be called to court to testify to anything said in the course of mediation. The parties cannot later testify to the details of the communications made in mediation.

This confidentiality allows the parties the freedom to make offers of settlement and proposals that they might otherwise be afraid to make for fear that they might be brought up later in court or used against them later in court.

However, if the parties come to an agreement then they must reduce the agreement to writing in the form of a Mediation Agreement and they must read and sign the agreement freely and voluntarily. The Mediator and the attorneys for the parties, if any, also sign the Mediation Agreement and it is submitted to the Court for approval. When the Mediator submits the agreement to the Court, he or she does not report anything else that may have happened or been discussed at the mediation.

The Court only receives the written agreement and the Mediator and parties are still restricted from revealing the details of the mediation under the confidentiality rules. So, if the parties only reach a written agreement as to some of the issues, often referred to as a Partial Mediation Agreement only the partial written agreement is submitted to the Court and the Mediator will report only that the parties did not reach an agreement as to the remainder (referred to as an impasse) . Often parties in family law cases are reticent to attend mediation and believe that it will accomplish nothing. Irrespective of the fact that most family law cases will be referred to mediation anyway, it is important to attend mediation with an open mind and willingness to consider offers.

Landscaping Strategies To Produce A Breathtaking Yard

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Where I live it was in the 50′s and at times I had to take my jacket off to cool down a little bit.

I actually got ambitious and worked a little to hard.

My muscles are aching a little now. But that’s OK, physical works is good for you, as long as you don’t overdo it. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year, because of the outdoor activities.

Here are some landscaping ideas you can do to spruce up your aboveground or inground swimming pool. Outdoor living spaces have been popular for many years now, and will continue to be so. It’s like an extension of our house. And with this being part of spaces that you will spend a lot of time in, it makes sense to improve the look by creating a more aesthetically pleasing and more natural atmosphere where your swimming pool is placed.
