When Fort Myers divorce mediation does not produce a full settlement, the unresolved issues proceed to a contested hearing before a Lee County circuit court judge. The court reviews evidence, hears arguments from both sides, and issues rulings on each disputed matter. The parties have considerably less control over the outcome at that point than they did during mediation, and the timeline extends substantially.
Brodzki Jacobs prepares Fort Myers clients for trial with the same thoroughness as for mediation, which means a failed mediation does not require starting over. The work already done on the financial picture, the legal positions, and the case strategy carries forward directly into the litigation track. If your mediation did not produce a resolution, contact the firm to discuss what the next phase of the case involves and how the existing preparation applies.
