Christine S. Cook is a Florida-licensed attorney and Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator. She spent 14 years representing clients in Florida family law - divorce, custody, support, and everything in between. She has stood in front of judges, negotiated in hallways, and watched families spend years and fortunes fighting battles that rarely ended the way anyone hoped.
So she made a decision. Christine stepped away from active litigation to do something she believes creates better outcomes for families: mediate. As a mediator, she brings the knowledge of a seasoned litigator - but no agenda. Her only job is to help parties reach their own agreement.
Christine is certified to mediate throughout the state of Florida and conducts sessions both in person and via secure video platform. She is known for her structured approach, her calm under pressure, and her genuine commitment to resolution.
After 14 years in family law litigation, I had seen enough courtroom battles to know something important: the courtroom is rarely where families heal. Judges make decisions based on evidence and law - not on what's actually best for a child's Tuesday mornings or a parent's work schedule. Families who fight it out in court often end up with orders they resent and agreements they don't follow.
Mediation is different. As a mediator, I don't take sides. I don't represent anyone. I create the space and the structure for two people to have a real conversation and reach real agreements. And because I spent 14 years knowing exactly what goes wrong when those conversations don't happen, I know how to guide them when they do.
If you want to divorce well - you mediate. That's not a slogan. It's what I've seen to be true
