Kim W.

She holds four Florida Supreme Court certifications (Circuit Civil, Family, County Court, Appellate) plus Federal Court and bankruptcy approval.
Torres chaired the Florida Bar's ADR Section in 2019–20, received the Circuit Civil Mediator of the Year award for Brevard County in 2007, and is a Diplomate Member of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals since 2008 — a peer-nominated, invitation-only organization.
She does not represent either side. She does not decide outcomes. You and the other party own the resolution.
"I believe in the power of mediation and in providing people with the opportunity to own their problems. This includes creating a resolution that works best for them, through careful listening and patient development of a mediated agreement."

Testimonials
Kim Torres charges $350 per hour with a two-hour minimum for virtual sessions and a three-hour minimum for in-person sessions. Most couples split the cost equally. A typical divorce mediation runs two to six hours in total, depending on how many issues need to be resolved.
Yes. Florida courts require mediation in most family law cases before a judge will schedule a trial, under Florida Statute §44.102. You can also mediate voluntarily before filing your petition, which often resolves disputes faster and at lower cost.
Yes. A significant portion of Kim's practice involves pro se parties—people mediating divorce without attorney representation. She helps unrepresented spouses create parenting plans, equitable distribution agreements, and mediation settlement agreements that meet the filing requirements of Florida courts.
Simple uncontested divorces and county court disputes typically resolve in a single two- to three-hour session. Child custody, HOA, or commercial disputes with multiple issues may require four to six hours across one or two sessions.
If mediation does not produce a full agreement, Kim files an impasse report with the court. You can still litigate unresolved issues, but most mediations narrow the disputes significantly—reducing trial time and attorney fees even when a partial agreement is reached.
Once both parties sign the mediation settlement agreement (MSA), it becomes a binding contract. The court reviews it during your divorce proceedings and incorporates its terms into the final judgment, making them enforceable as court orders.
Bring your most recent financial affidavit, tax returns, pay stubs, bank and retirement account statements, mortgage documents, and any existing court orders. If children are involved, bring school schedules and a proposed parenting plan outline.
Yes. Kim regularly mediates in Brevard, Orange, Seminole, and Indian River Counties and travels statewide, with conference rooms available in any Florida county. Zoom video conferencing is available for every case type. Sessions are often scheduled within one to three days.
