Family law cases in Kissimmee are handled by the Osceola County Circuit Court, Ninth Judicial Circuit. The process begins with the filing of a petition, whether for dissolution of marriage, paternity, modification, or another type of family law relief. Florida's family courts have procedural rules that govern timelines, mandatory disclosures, and the use of mediation before contested matters can proceed to a judge.
For most contested family law matters in Florida, mandatory mediation is a required step before a hearing or trial is set. This gives the parties a structured opportunity to resolve disputes without judicial intervention. What is agreed to in mediation becomes a binding court order. Brodzki Jacobs prepares Kissimmee clients for mediation with the same care taken for trial preparation. Contact the firm before your mediation date to make sure your position is fully developed going in.
