Profile Information

About Me:

I am a reformed "killer" divorce attorney, author and peaceful divorce mediator. My vision is to bring the message of peaceful divorce to the world in a very big way, and to change the usual divorce advice and divorce help to support peaceful divorce. I created this website because I want you to join me!

I have been a divorce attorney in Palm Beach County Florida for 26 years. I was in the trenches doing legal battle until I created my own peaceful divorce. Now for the past 12 years I have exclusively practiced divorce mediation to help couples create a peaceful divorce for themselves and their families.

I am the co-Author of "Happily Divorced! Secrets of the Win-Win Formula" book and audio series which provides a never before revealed look into the real world of divorce, and shows, step-by-step, how to create a peaceful divorce!

At 3:06pm on November 2, 2009, Melanie Brubaker said…: The puzzle piece I bring to the table of the peaceful divorce is my ability to bring equilibrium or realistic expectations to the final outcome and to keep the importance of the children at the forefront but not in the line of fire. I keep my clients informed throughout the process as a means to calm the divorce angst as much as possible. I also believe in empowering my clients by guiding him/her to the resources s/he will need to achieve a win/win outcome for a healthy, vibrant family post-divorce.

At 2:39pm on July 6, 2009, Brooke Deratany Goldfarb said…: Hi, Cynthia, Although I am a lawyer, I'm happiest when I play the role of mediator because I enjoy encouraging both parties to express themselves and working out language that everyone can live with. As I am a lawyer by training, I also enjoy working in a collaborative divorce. Most of the time I work as the mediator and I bring in a financial advisor to help the couple with the numbers and sometimes a mental health therapist to help with the parent coordination, all of us as neutrals. The couple truly benefits from having a "divorce transition team" in place. I never give up on the couple. I stand for the resolution of all issues. I'm kind of the cheerleader and coach for the couple as well as the drafter of the documents. I also try to keep them laughing and diffuse the tension with humor.

At 1:40pm on June 24, 2009, Kristi Sutter said…: Hi Cynthia,
My piece to the peaceful divorce puzzle is helping individuals explore their childhood experiences and relationships and how they use these to select a partner. Looking at their attempt to repeat what is familiar to them, or attempt repairing what is familiar but not satisfying, can be life changing. I have seen the anger decrease between partners when each realizes that their being together was not a chance happening. Understanding this process can produce compassion for each partner's struggle taking blame away. This is a difficult process. Some partners would rather blame and stay angry. Those who can look at themselves will grow, change and look at divorce as an opportunity.

Feel free to send me info if you have it available for interested PRO SE parties...I would really appreciate free advice that would assist me ..and not advertisements for their BUSINESS SERVICES....

Thanks for your info!
Yes Peaceful indeed and I would like to know, have you been through a divorce? I think it should be a requirement for the attornies who specialize in the field to have been through the process..it would then be viewed as much more GENUINE ADVICE! Don't you agree?

Again, thanks and all the best look forward to hearing back from you!

When I am in the neutral role I serve as an educator so that the parties can make an informed decision about how best to proceed.

At 9:44am on February 17, 2009, J. Richard Kulerski said…: Cynthia,

Thank you for welcoming me into the group.

My piece of the peaceful divorce puzzle addresses something that society and our predecessors in divorce seem to have overlooked.

If we want to learn how to drive, we take lessons. It's the same with karate, dancing, golf, driving, breast feeding, etc.. There are even instructions and tips for learning how to sell a yo-yo on eBay.

But they never gave us any lessons on how to get divorced. No one tells us what to say and do (and not say and do!) if we hope to persuade our partner to agree to a peaceful, out-of-court settlement.

If society had never required driving instruction, we would have just experienced a century of unnecessary car wrecks. Without specific instruction on how to behave during one-on-one spousal settlement conversations, we have, in fact, already experienced a century of divorce wrecks/wars, many of which were likely unnecessary.

I have come across many newly revealed and effective things that divorcing spouses can now do to entice their spouses to join them in making their ordeal quicker, saner, and more affordable. I plan on sharing these insights with the group.

The more I learn is the more I realize that I need to learn, and whatever I have to offer is certainly far from complete.

I sincerely ask for and welcome any and all input.

I can't remember my nickname.
