Orange County Mediation Day |
Saturday, March 24, 2007 | Conference
I attended a conference yesterday in honor of Orange County Mediation Day. I went to a workshop presented by my old friend, Mari Frank who is a fabulous speaker. Mari is a nationally recognized expert in Identity Theft and Privacy protection. She has been interviewed on countless national television shows, has written two books and hosts a Wednedsay evening radio show on KUCI-FM.
Privacy in Mediation
One of the points that Mari emphasized is the privacy of mediation. There is no other way to get divorced that protects your privacy as well as mediation. In divorce litigation, every word is public record. Financial records are disclosed in the process and many personal and intimate details of people's lives become part of a court public record.
Confidentiality Protected by Law
The Confidentiality of Mediation is protected by law. There are a number of evidence codes in place to ensure that participants feel comfortable participating in mediation. Mari stressed that privacy is more than just confidentiality. In California, there are a number of laws that protect our privacy. As a matter of fact, the right to privacy is the first right of the California (but not the Federal) constitution.
Mediation is a better divorce choice
Give mediation a try. If you don't like it, you have only wasted an hour of your time and a few hundred dollars. You can always switch to litigation. But if you choose litigation, it will be very hard to switch back to mediation. Be open to it and it will most likely work for you.
