  • Designing a Care Plan for Your Aging Parents with Barbara Newman-Mannix
    Parents just don’t understand. But neither do adult children! If you have concerns about keeping an aging parent safe, you may be tempted to take over and start making the decisions for them. But Barbara Newman-Mannix argues that there are ways to compromise on common sense solutions that afford your parents their autonomy AND ensure their well-being.

  • Mediation in Conflicts Over Animals with Debra Vey Voda-Hamilton
    Though you may not like your ex all that much, your pet doesn’t harbor the same resentment. Yet our companion animals often get caught in the middle and end up being used as bargaining chips in a divorce settlement that doesn’t serve the people or the pets involved. Rather than taking the fight to court, where pets are viewed as property, mediation serves as a more appropriate alternative—an alternative that allows both parties to be a part of a solution-oriented discussion around conflicts over animals.
    Debra Vey Voda-Hamilton is a conflict coach, mediator and principal attorney with Hamilton Law & Mediation, a firm that uses alternative dispute resolution to foster peaceful solutions in conflicts over animals. A pioneer in the field, Debra speaks widely on the top of how mediation techniques can help people address conflicts without litigation, and she has been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and US News and World Report, among many other. She is also the author of Nipped in the Bud, Not in the Butt: How to Use Mediation to Resolve Conflicts over Animals.
    Today, Debra joins Katherine to discuss the important role companion animals play in our lives and recent court cases involving the ownership of animals. She explains how pets serve as a source of comfort, especially in the aftermath of a difficult separation or divorce. Listen in for insight on how the mediator can help a divorcing couple hear each other ‘for the first time’ and design a custody arrangement that serves the people, the children and the pets involved.
    Topics Covered
    The important role of companion animals in our lives
    The judge’s decision in the case of Travis v. Murray
    How to recognize that when you’re projecting your feelings on the animal
    Why pets are considered property under the law
    Why mediators need to ask about pets up front
    The benefits of having a companion animal
    How to determine what arrangement is in the best interest of the animal
    How relationships with pets tend to deepen after a separation or divorce
    How pets serve as a source of comfort
    The value of mediation in helping parties come to a creative solution

  • The Role of a Financial Neutral in the Divorce Process with Steve Kaplan CPA/ABV, MBA
