Alternative Dispute Resolution
Four-Way Conference
A settlement meeting attended by both spouses and both of their attorneys to negotiate divorce issues directly. In Florida, a four-way conference can resolve property division, support, or a parenting plan without a contested hearing. It is an informal, voluntary process—not a court proceeding—and anything agreed upon is typically written into a settlement.
