Online Family Mediation for St. Petersburg, Florida

Jessica brings three credentials to the virtual table: Florida Supreme Court certification as a family mediator (#44460F), a clinical social work license, and qualification as a parenting coordinator. She stays neutral and does not advise either party on the law.

Why some St. Pete families try mediation first

Mediation lets you settle family matters without arguing them in open court. It tends to be more private, and parents can shape a schedule around real life, like school calendars, restaurant or hospital shifts, and weekend plans, rather than leaving every detail to someone else.

How a Zoom session works

She summarizes points of agreement in writing, and documents are signed electronically once each person is comfortable.

A note on Pinellas courts

Pinellas County is within Florida's Sixth Judicial Circuit. Jessica's private mediation is independent of the court, and this is general information, not legal guidance.

My co-parent lives in Tampa and I live in St. Pete. Does that matter?
Not for a virtual session. Each of you joins from your own location.

What if hurricane season disrupts our schedule?
Parents can talk through backup plans for storm closures and evacuations so the children's routine has a clear fallback both of you understand.

Jessica uses password-protected meetings and asks participants to join from private spaces. She'll review privacy steps before you begin.

Will Jessica write our final paperwork?
She records the terms you reach in a written agreement. She doesn't provide legal advice, so many people have their own attorney review it.
