Court basics for Zephyrhills

The nearest judicial center is the Robert D. Sumner Judicial Center in Dade City, 38053 Live Oak Avenue, where the East Pasco mediation office (Suite 124) handles court mediations. Pasco cases may also be heard at the West Pasco Judicial Center in New Port Richey, so check your case paperwork.

Later-life and long-marriage mediation

When a marriage ends after decades, time-sharing usually isn't the fight. Retirement accounts, pensions, the house and health coverage are. Mediation gives couples the hours to work through those details rather than squeezing them into a hearing. Adult children aren't covered by a parenting plan but can be a real emotional factor, and Jessica's clinical background helps there.

Young families and parenting coordination

For parents of minor children, Jessica mediates parenting plans and time-sharing. For co-parents still fighting after the plan is signed, she offers parenting coordination under Fla. Stat. §61.125: help carrying out the plan, settling day-to-day disputes, and keeping children out of the middle. Parents can agree to it, or a Sixth Circuit judge can order it.

Fees: $200/hour for mediation, 2-hour minimum. The first 15 minutes are free.
