When mediation does not produce a full settlement, the unresolved issues proceed to a contested hearing or trial before a Broward County family court judge. The court then makes determinations on the disputed matters based on the evidence presented. This is not a failure of the mediation process — partial settlements reached at mediation often narrow the contested issues significantly, reducing the scope and cost of what needs to go before the court.
