What Is Family Mediation?
- Confidential and voluntary. A neutral professional helps families resolve disputes outside of court — nothing is decided without your agreement.
- Collaborative, not adversarial. The goal is finding common ground, not winning an argument.
- You stay in control. Decisions remain with the parties, rather than being left to a judge.
- Often faster and less costly than litigation. Mediation covers divorce, parenting plans, child support, and other family transitions.
- In person or virtual. In person in Orange, Seminole & Osceola counties, or virtually anywhere in Florida.

Co-Parenting Disputes
Other appropriate family matters may also be mediated, subject to any applicable court order.
Why Mediation
Compared to a Contested Court Case
Litigation
- Months to years on a court calendar
- Public record
- A judge decides the outcome
- Costs scale with conflict
Mediation
- Scheduled on your timeline
- Confidential to the extent provided by law
- You and the other party decide together
- One session can be enough for some matters
- No case has to be filed first
Why Here
Why Work With George
Structured & Process-Driven
Before mediation, George Quinones spent a long technology career helping competing perspectives find resolutions both sides could accept. That same structured approach applies here — clear steps, clear expectations, no wasted time.
Neutral & Fair
The mediator’s role is to stay impartial and guide productive, respectful conversations — not to take sides or push an outcome. The parties decide; the mediator keeps the process working.
Convenient, In Person or Virtual
In-person sessions in Orange, Seminole & Osceola counties, virtual sessions statewide. Mediation can happen from wherever works best for both parties, without sacrificing focus or privacy.

No Attorney? That’s Common, and It’s Fine.
Many people come to mediation without a lawyer — some have one for part of the matter but not all of it, some don’t have one at all. You don’t need an attorney to participate. What matters is understanding the difference: your mediator is a neutral facilitator, not your attorney, and can’t tell you what to do or advise you on your legal rights. If that’s your situation, see how mediating without a lawyer works →
How a Session Works
Mediation is structured, but informal — no robes, no bench, no ruling handed down.
1
Intake
A short conversation to confirm both parties are willing to mediate, and a written explanation of fees before anything is scheduled.
2
Orientation
At the start of the session: how mediation works, the mediator’s role as a neutral facilitator, and confidentiality.
3
The Session
A joint conversation, or private caucus with each side if that serves the process better — typically two to four hours.
4
Agreement
Terms are put in writing for formalization by counsel.
About Your Mediator
George Quinones
George Quinones spent nearly 20 years at Oracle leading technical support and engineering teams, following 15 years leading software development. Behind the technology, much of that work involved navigating complex disagreements, bringing competing perspectives to the table, and helping people find practical resolutions they could accept. That is the same skill family mediation asks for, applied to a much more personal kind of dispute.
Family transitions are hard enough without the process itself adding confusion or delay. The goal here is to bring calm, structure, and fairness to that process — helping both parties reach a resolution they had a hand in shaping. Sessions are available in English or Spanish.
