Profile

Biography

Carolann Mazza is a Florida Family Law Attorney and Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator (No. 25475F) based in Fort Lauderdale. She is the founder of Carolann Mazza, P.A., a non-litigation family law firm she opened in 2003.

Carolann practices family law differently. She resolves divorce and family disputes exclusively out of court — through Collaborative Divorce, mediation, and negotiated settlement — rather than through litigation. Her commitment is simple: keeping families out of court. This protects relationships, preserves dignity, and puts children's well-being first, while giving clients more control over the outcome than a courtroom can.

She serves clients throughout Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties, and has been selected to Super Lawyers in Family Law every year from 2022 through 2026.

Her practice emphasizes respectful and constructive communication, child-focused decision making, collaborative problem solving, and practical settlement-focused outcomes — helping families maintain dignity and stability during major life transitions.

Editorial Responsibilities

I review content on family mediation, collaborative divorce, parenting plans, and out-of-court settlement processes. My editorial focus is ensuring that information about family dispute resolution accurately reflects the practical realities families face — including the emotional, financial, and child-welfare dimensions that courtroom-focused content often overlooks. I verify that procedural information about Florida family mediation is consistent with current Florida Supreme Court certification standards and Florida Bar rules.
