Mediation… Brings Divorce With Dignity
- It is voluntary
- The mediator is impartial
- It is confidential
- It is flexible
Ann LoDolce is a trained, certified Lawyer-Mediator.
Ann is a well-known and highly respected mediator. In her mediation practice, Ann acts as a neutral person who does not represent either party. It is her job to act as a facilitator in assisting the divorcing parties to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce.
As the mediator, Ann carefully prepares a “letter of understanding” after every session. This letter of understanding summarizes the extent of any and all agreements reached.
Letters of understanding can easily lead to a mutually satisfactory divorce agreement at far less cost while retaining total privacy. And the settlement is accomplished without public hearing or open court record.
Litigation invites conflict. And it is, by its very nature, confrontational, painful, and very expensive.
Mediation, on the other hand, is a voluntary process by which two people in a divorce dispute meet with an impartial third party to arrive at an informed, mutually agreed to settlement. Mediation is, by far, the most cost effective way to settle disputes between divorcing parties.
What if the mediation breaks down?
It is important to note that even if the mediation process is subsequently abandoned, the agreements reached by the parties during the mediation process will generally provide the basis to the final agreement.
