Love Me or Leave Me!

July 19, 2021 By Joy Rosenthal

I recently had the privilege of being interviewed by my colleagues, Isaiah Vallejo-Juste, Esq. and Meredith Shirey, LCSW for their podcast, Love Me or Leave Me.Isaiah is a divorce litigator, and Meredith is a couples therapist. I have a lot of respect for them both–we all work with NewYork City families, but approach our work in different ways. I thought they did a great job distilling my comments and getting to the heart of what mediation is and how I work.

In just 22 minutes, we talk about:

  • Why I went to law school
  • How I got to be a mediator
  • Why the legal system doesn’t work well for families
  • Why my career is based on CUNY Law School’s motto, “Law in the Service of HumanNeeds”
  • A quick explanation of Understanding-Based Mediation
  • My role as a guide, not as a decision-maker
  • The importance of treating each other with dignity
  • The mediation process and what really happens in the mediation room (or Zoom!)
  • Ways to support the mediation process
  • Helping LGBT families establish parentage
  • Second parent adoptions
