There are four key principles to the mediation process:
- 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.
With mediation costs and expenses are substantially reduced .
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.

Interest based negotiation enables clients to discover common goals for their
family and to work towards a resolution that addresses everyone's needs. The mediation process can encourage empathy, and an understanding that more interests are shared than
realized and an appreciation that parties will be connected one way or another
well into the future.
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.
