Family Mediation & Parenting Coordination in Spring Hill, Florida
Spring Hill covers much of southwestern Hernando County. Parents and couples who live here can sit down with Jessica face to face anywhere in Hernando County, or log in by Zoom on days when shift work, school pickups or the drive make a meeting room impractical.
Her credentials: Florida Supreme Court certified family mediator #44460F, licensed clinical social worker, and qualified Florida parenting coordinator. In every Spring Hill case she stays neutral, which means she doesn't advocate for either person and doesn't give legal advice.
Room to talk things through
Mediation lets you settle family matters without arguing them in open court. Lots of households here balance a commute on the Suncoast Parkway or US-19 with practices, homework and church. A private, unhurried table gives both of you space to work through those details and then put whatever you agree on into writing.
Issues Spring Hill families bring to mediation
Dividing a household: the house, retirement accounts, credit cards and other debts
Building or reworking a time-sharing schedule and parenting plan
Child support or alimony, including later changes
Establishing paternity and a plan for unmarried parents
When the plan is signed but the arguments continue
Some parents finished their paperwork years ago and still clash over pickups, holidays or text messages. A parenting coordinator is a neutral who helps the two of you live with the plan you already have and sort out routine disagreements as they come up. You can choose this together, or a judge may order it. Details are on the parenting coordination page.
Local court information
Hernando County belongs to Florida's Fifth Judicial Circuit. Family cases are handled at the Hernando County Courthouse, 20 N. Main Street in Brooksville. The Hernando County Clerk also runs a Spring Hill office in the Forest Oaks Government Center (7405 Forest Oaks Blvd.), where people without a lawyer can file a divorce. Jessica has no connection to the court or the clerk, and this section is general information only.
What meeting with Jessica looks like
You pick the setting: a meeting space in Hernando County, or a video call where each of you stays in your own home. When it is time to sign, documents go out through DocuSign so nobody has to print or drive anything across town.

Questions from Spring Hill
Will I need to go to Brooksville for our sessions?
No. You can meet with Jessica somewhere in Hernando County or by video, and private mediation is not held at the courthouse.
One of us lives in Spring Hill and the other near Brooksville. How do school-year schedules usually get worked out?
In mediation, parents can map out school mornings, bus or car-line duties and weeknight overnights with the drive between homes in mind. Jessica helps both of you test a schedule against an ordinary school week before anything is written down.
Our parenting plan was already ordered. What would a parenting coordinator do now?
A parenting coordinator helps parents use the plan they have: sorting out exchange times, holiday swaps and how messages get sent between homes, so small issues can be handled before they pile up.
Does Jessica represent either of us?
No. She is a social worker and certified mediator rather than a lawyer, and each of you is welcome to have your own attorney.
What does the first call cost?
Nothing. The first 15 minutes are free.
