Paralegal Divorce Mediation in Florida

Beginning in August 2024, Family Diplomacy will offer paralegal divorce mediation with our executive paralegal, Jennifer Gunnin.

Going through a divorce can be tough. You may feel sad, angry, and stressed. But there’s a way to make it easier. Jennifer, who has worked closely with divorcing clients at Family Diplomacy: A Collaborative Law Firm since 2013, can help.  If you are in Florida, here is why you may want to consider working with Jennifer in a paralegal divorce mediation.

Paralegal Divorce Mediation

First, Jennifer is a trained professional who has over a decade experience working with divorcing clients. She has seen some things. Like all mediators, she cannot give legal advice, but she can explain things in a simple way so you can understand and choose what common elements you want in your parenting plan and marital settlement agreement. One of her goals is to ensure that you don’t feel lost or confused about what’s happening.

Second, Jennifer can help both you and your spouse talk things out. As a mediator, she is neutral, which means she doesn’t take sides. Her job is to help you both agree on important things like what to do with the house, how to share custody with your kids, and how to split money and debts. This can make the process faster and less stressful.

Third, using a paralegal as a mediator can save you money. Lawyers are expensive, and court battles can cost a lot. Jennifer charges less than a lawyer. If you and your spouse can agree on things through mediation, you won’t have to spend as much on legal fees.

Also, paralegals are good at handling paperwork, and Jennifer especially so. Divorces involve a lot of forms and documents. Jennifer can help in filling out those forms correctly. This can prevent delays and mistakes that might happen if you tried to do it all on your own.

Lastly, using Jennifer in a paralegal divorce mediation can be less stressful for your kids. When parents fight in court, it can be hard on children. Jennifer is known for her kindness and empathy, and mediation can create a calmer environment to make long-term decisions about your future. This helps you and your spouse work together to do what’s best for your family.
