Divorce
Mediation is conducted face to face. The mediator cannot compel either party to participate in the process; both parties must voluntarily participate. Your matter will be handled directly by Aniella Russo, an experienced mediator. Her role is that of neutral facilitator of your negotiations. She may provide factual information to assist you, but participants in mediation make their own decisions. She may also tell you about solutions that have worked for other parties in similar circumstances. Under no circumstances will she provide legal advice or represent either party against the other. The mediator cannot give participants any legal advice in connection with their decisions and the ramifications and consequences of those decisions. However, the mediator may provide you with copies of the Domestic Relations Law of New York State. At the end of the mediation sessions, the mediator will provide the participants with a written draft of their agreements. If the parties are separating, then the agreement is called a Separation Agreement and is filed with the County Clerk. If the parties are divorcing, then the agreement is called a Stipulation of Settlement and is part of the uncontested divorce packet, which the mediator may prepare, and file with the court clerk.
