If you are in need of divorce mediation for same-sex marriage Contact Matthew Brickman at iMediate Inc. today.

January 6, 2015: Same-sex marriage in Florida became legal as a result of a temporary injunction issued by a U.S. district court in the case of Brenner v. Scott, in which the state’s same-sex marriage ban had been found unconstitutional on August 21, 2014.

None of the 10 family court judges in the 15th Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County) will be signing off on any same sex divorces until the Supreme Court later in 2015.

Amazing Mediator!

Mr. Brickman was fantastic during our mediation! He took his time and went through everything line by line to make sure we understood and were comfortable with it all. Broke it all down in applicable situations we could understand and used his own experience to give examples. The way he handled our mediation was absolutely pivotal in the outcome I had and I couldn't be happier with the result.
