How do mediating spouses protect their legal rights in Florida?

If you’re going to a mediation without legal counsel, I would always say it is better for you to talk to an attorney first to make sure you know what your legal rights are, otherwise you may give up something that you would be otherwise entitled to.  Seeking legal counsel is one way to protect your legal rights.  You can also hire an attorney to actually attend the mediation with you and tell you your legal rights while you’re in the mediation.  Once you sign an agreement it is very difficult if not impossible to change it.
