DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED \n\n\n\nWhy Pre-Marital Mediation: \n\n\n\nAfter mediating divorce and family matters for over two decades and co-training burgeoning mediators for over 15 years\, I am now including a new “pro-active” approach to marriage\, determined to help couples embarking on a life together to have the best possible outcome. \n\n\n\nWhether it’s their first marriage or a second one\, before they say “I do\,” I want to help couples give the relationship the strongest possible foundation. Pre-marital mediation helps partners talk through the issues that matter most—money\, family\, career goals\, lifestyle\, conflict resolution—so they can enter marriage with clarity and confidence. \n\n\n\nWhy It Matters: \n\n\n\nLove is essential\, but lasting marriages thrive on understanding and shared expectations. Mediation creates a safe\, guided space to explore sensitive topics before they become sources of stress or resentment. \n\n\n\nHow Mediation Sets them Up for Success: \n\n\n\n\nClear Communication: Learning how to discuss difficult topics constructively.\n\n\n\nStronger Bond: Build trust and mutual respect by tackling challenges together now.\n\n\n\nShared Vision: Aligning their values\, goals\, and long-term plans.\n\n\n\nPractical Agreements: Creating fair\, flexible understandings about: finances;  family planning; extended family involvement and holidays; religion and spirituality; politics and world view; how they deal with loss of a loved one\, loss of a job\, failing health; leisure time vs work encroachment; shared humor; where to live: location as well as home ownership; chores: who does what; handling differences about neatness and clutter; taking care of their physical and mental health; taking care of children and aging parents; how and when  to settle differences and arguments;  All the potential “what if’s about the future that they may not see coming.\n\n\n\nFor second marriages:  All of the above in addition to blending families and the challenges when children have different ideas about what they want.\n\n\n\nIs a Pre-Nup a good idea for first marriages; It most certainly is for second marriages and we’ll discuss WHY.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:After a successful commercial real estate career\, Ada turned her extensive negotiating skills to conflict resolution\, divorce and family mediation in 2003. Known among family\, friends and colleagues as a natural “bridge-builder”\, she trained at the Center for Mediation & Training in New York City where her formal education honed her natural abilities. She is now a co-trainer at that Center\, participating in both the 40 hour basic divorce and family mediation training as well as advanced trainings. She also mentors burgeoning mediators and co-hosts a monthly mediation peer group. \n\n\n\nAda is the founder of the Divorce and Family Mediation Center on Long Island\, a founding board member of the APFM (Academy of Professional Family Mediators) a former board member\, co-host of a monthly peer group and active member of the NYSCDM (New York State Council on Divorce Mediation.     \n\n\n\nA lifelong learner\, Ada participates in ongoing personal development & transformational seminars and training courses through Landmark Education and EnlightenNext. A student of sociology\, psychology\, philosophy and ethics she earned a BA from Stony Brook University with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in sociology.  \n\n\n\nAda believes that conflict can be a tremendous opportunity for growth and transformation. She is passionate about helping couples emerge with new possibilities in their relationships as they create a new family structure. From the time she began mediating in 2003\, Ada had a vision to open a center for divorcing families to find the support and resources needed to help couples navigate the uncertain and often daunting aspects of divorce. Fulfilling on this aspiration and providing the right resources is extremely rewarding for her. Mediating over 1\,000 couples over the past 23 years as well as training and mentoring aspiring mediators\, Ada considers it a privilege and a calling to do this enlightened work.  \n\n\n\nAda has presented before the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation\, the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York; the Employee Assistant Professionals Association; the annual tax symposiums of the National Conference of CPA Practitioners; The Mid Island Clinical Connection\, The New York City Clinical Connection and The Long Island Chapter of the Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Guests are welcome to attend one Monthly Member Meeting.

Yet many legal professionals recognize that legal strategy alone cannot address the communication breakdowns\, parenting conflicts\, and emotional challenges that often accompany divorce and custody disputes. This presentation explores how one boutique family law firm developed a strategic partnership with a co-parenting and step-parenting coach to provide more comprehensive support to families navigating separation and divorce. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn how WhitsonLaw built a collaborative model around the BeH2O™ co-parenting framework\, a structured program designed to help parents improve communication\, regulate conflict\, and create child-centered parenting systems during and after divorce. The presentation outlines how legal representation and co-parenting coaching can work together in a coordinated\, wrap-around model that enhances the client experience\, improves case outcomes\, and supports healthier family transitions. Participants will also gain insight into the philosophy behind the BeH2O™ approach and how interdisciplinary collaboration can help reduce high-conflict dynamics in custody matters.In addition to exploring the client benefits\, this session provides a practical blueprint for other family law professionals who wish to develop similar strategic partnerships. The discussion will cover how to structure collaborative relationships\, maintain clear professional boundaries\, develop co-branded educational programs\, and leverage interdisciplinary partnerships to strengthen authority\, expand reach\, and attract aligned clients. By the end of the session\, attendees will understand how strategic collaboration can transform both family law practice and the support systems available to families during divorce. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways: \n\n\n\n\nFamily law outcomes improve when legal strategy is paired with behavioral support. Integrating co-parenting coaching alongside legal representation helps clients develop communication and conflict-management skills that courts alone cannot provide.\n\n\n\nA wrap-around service model enhances the client experience. Coordinated collaboration between attorneys and professionals such as co-parenting coaches creates a more supportive\, structured process that reduces conflict and helps families focus on the best interests of their children.\n\n\n\nStrategic partnerships can reduce high-conflict dynamics in custody cases. When clients learn tools for emotional regulation and effective communication\, negotiations become more productive and legal processes often become more efficient.\n\n\n\nCo-branded programs and interdisciplinary collaboration strengthen professional authority. Educational initiatives\, joint workshops\, and shared resources position firms as comprehensive family transition experts rather than solely legal service providers.\n\n\n\nThis model is replicable for other family law professionals. With clear roles\, aligned values\, and structured collaboration\, attorneys can build strategic partnerships that expand services\, attract aligned clients\, and create better outcomes for families.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:Debra Whitson\, Attorney\, Mediator\, and Certified Divorce Specialist®.
