Janice J. Catalano is Florida Supreme Court certified family mediator skilled in facilitating settlements, low/no litigation divorce, and other family matters including asset division, parenting plans, child/spousal support, and post-divorce modifications.
Our approach emphasizes respect, empathy, and self-empowerment with a focus on minimizing the impact to children and supporting healthy co-parenting relationships. We help clients reach mutually acceptable agreements that address their unique and/or changing circumstances minimizing the cost, stress, and time of litigation in court.
In the State of Florida, all family law cases are referred to mediation prior to being set for a trial/final hearing and 95% of cases are settled outside the courtroom.
You can save time, stress, and money by choosing to enter mediation at any point in the dissolution process,including prior to filing.
Mediation is a cost-effective alternative to fighting it out in court. It offers both parties privacy, confidentiality, self-determination, and a less antagonistic dispute resolution process.
We also offer evening mediation for clients with challenging schedules. All mediation sessions have a 3 hour minimum and include document preparation if needed.
Uncontested Divorce
In court, a judge has ultimate control over the outcome of your divorce. Contrary to popular belief, you can save time, money, and stress, by divorcing without litigation (with or without retaining individual attorneys).
We provide a constructive and less adversarial approach to divorce by empowering clients to make informed decisions, and facilitating amicable solutions that meet the unique needs of both parties, without putting the outcome of those decisions in the hands of a judge who has no way of truly knowing your circumstances or your family as well as you do. We can help you reach full, partial, or temporary agreements without the costs required in traditional litigation.
Modifications
We can assist in resolving changing circumstances or complications that may arise after your divorce has been finalized including, but not limited to, parenting plan modifications, parental relocation, and child support adjustments.
“I envision a future where divorce mediation is a trusted, accessible first step, not a last resort, where families navigating divorce are empowered with accessible knowledge, supported decision-making, and child-centered solutions.”
