Divorce Mediation & Parenting Coordination in Land O' Lakes

Your court: the Sixth Circuit

Land O' Lakes sits in central Pasco, roughly between the county's two judicial centers, which is why people are often unsure where to go:

• West Pasco Judicial Center, 7530 Little Road, New Port Richey. Family mediation office: Suite 201, (727) 847-8174.

• Robert D. Sumner Judicial Center, 38053 Live Oak Avenue, Dade City. Mediation office: Suite 124, (352) 521-4378.

Your case paperwork shows the assigned location. Pasco also runs a Unified Family Court, which aims to keep one family's related cases with one judge.

When the court refers a case to mediation, the Sixth Circuit expects proposed parenting plans to be exchanged five to seven days ahead. Working with a private mediator early gets that done on your schedule, not the docket's.

Mediation that fits a busy schedule

Mediation by Zoom fits sessions around work and school pickup, and in-person sessions are available in Pasco County. Jessica handles divorce settlements, time-sharing schedules, support, and modifications.

Parenting coordination for Land O' Lakes co-parents

If you have a parenting plan and still argue over every handoff, holiday and travel date, a parenting coordinator can help. Florida defines the role in Fla. Stat. §61.125: a neutral who helps parents implement their plan and settle day-to-day disputes within the authority their order or agreement grants. A judge can order it, or parents can choose it. Jessica's clinical training as an LCSW is built for that kind of entrenched conflict.

Rates: $200/hour for mediation with a 2-hour minimum, plus a free 15-minute first call.
