Profile Information

About Me:
As an Attorney & Counselor-at-Law since 1985, I have developed and maintained a proactive, problem-solving practice, working with clients in the areas of intellectual property law and family law to create projects and settle conflicts.

As a Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, and Qualified Florida Parenting Coordinator, I utilize a diverse, professional skill set to facilitate positive outcomes for my clients. My understanding of the family law process and its pitfalls helps to guide my clients to avoid getting caught up in them.

In my practice, I educate clients about the complex systems and issues involved with divorce, parenting and family law. I counsel clients concerning divorce-related issues that impact families such as time-sharing, decision-making, single parenting, co-parenting, step parenting, and “merging” families. I work with parents who have children of all ages.

By combining mediation and parenting coordination methods, solutions are created that have a positive effect on parents and children, and also have a positive, long-term “ripple effect” on extended family relationships. I coach my clients as they develop the communication skills and problem- solving techniques necessary to create a peaceful divorce and co-parenting relationship.

I currently serve on several subcommittees of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar, and I was co-creator of the Children First Parenting Coordination protocol (Plantation, Florida) as well as the Children First public information website. I earned the degree of Juris Doctor from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (NY) where I was an editor of the Arts & Entertainment Law Journal, and I earned the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Magna Cum Laude) from the State University of NY at Buffalo.

I have been a licensed attorney for almost 25 years, a parent for more than 20 years, and a stepparent for more than 5 years. Faced with my own decision to divorce more than 13 years ago, I knew that I wanted to “do divorce differently.” I created a vision of divorce for my family that included a peaceful, long-term future.

As a parent, as well as an adult whose own parents divorced when I was 15, I am sensitive to the need for honest, appropriate communication and parenting so that family members can grow and thrive -- even if divorce is part of the family's structure.

Parents & Divorce: "We need to talk."

If you are a separated or divorced parent, you need to communicate with your child’s other parent. Even though you are no longer living together, and, in some cases, especially because you are no longer living together, conflicts about your children (minor ones and major ones) may arise with greater frequency.

What do you do? Hopefully, you calmly discuss and resolve issues such as pick-ups and drop-offs, schedule changes, money, extracurricular activities, and family matters with your c… Continue

New Florida Statute Provides Help For Families During & After Divorce

Current research indicates that one of the most reliable predictors of a child's success after their parents' separation and divorce is how well their parents get along. However, most separated or divorced parents find it quite challenging to peacefully reach common ground with their child's other parent.

Often, despite parents' best efforts to protect them, children see too much, hear too much and feel their parents' simmering anger. Some children get a stomach ache every time they have to tra… Continue

Responsibility

Peaceful Divorce member Michael Mastracci's recent email included the following insightful message:

Spiritual Laws to Help With Divorce -- Responsibility

When going through a divorce, the desire to lay blame is strong, and of course, natural. But in order to learn and grow from the situation, and truly heal, we need to look inside of ourselves. When we can ask ourselves what our contributions to the situation have been, then we’re ready to take an honest look at exactly how we participa… Continue

What's Your Co-Parenting Style? Cooperative, Parallel or Somewhere In-Between?

One of many difficult things parents must do during and after their divorce is deal with their child(ren)'s other parent. While some aspects of "the deal" are spelled out in documents such as temporary or permanent court orders or final marital settlement agreements, most of the "parenting" details are not explicitly written down.

For example, a document provides that the child(ren) are to spend every Tuesday night and alternating weekends with Parent A. In most instances, an agreement will inc… Continue
