Mediator. Fiona graduated with a BA in sociology/political science and geography from the National University in Ireland, Galway and received her JD from the University of New Hampshire School of Law; a member of the Academy of Professional Family Mediators, a member of the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation, a member of Ulster County Women’s Network, Hudson Valley Women in Business, and the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce. After graduating from law school, Fiona chose to travel working in Federal Indian Law (including the Indian Child Welfare Act), Tribal Law, Family Law, and general civil litigation for domestic abuse survivors. For the past several years, she has specialized in Family Law and working with non-represented litigants. Seeing the difficulties people faced in litigation prompted Fiona to mediation. Above all, Fiona greatly enjoys working directly with people to help find solutions. Fiona was born in Ithaca, New York, but is not “from” anywhere. She grew up all over the country and overseas -- at first due to her father’s job, but later due to a love of traveling. Having lived in seven different states and in more than six countries, she learned to adapt to her surroundings and made friends where ever she went. Fiona learned a lot from her travels -- understanding people, embracing differences, and learning how to start conversations. Fiona is an advocate of the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities. Fiona brings her experiences to the table, creating a space for progress and resolution with patience and understanding. Fiona believes in a solution-focused model of mediation. On her days off, Fiona enjoys pottery, gardening, pinteresting, and hanging out with her husband, daughter and cat. https://www.familycirclemediation.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-02-15 https://www.familycirclemediation.com/whattoexpect daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://www.familycirclemediation.com/whatismediation daily 0.75 2024-01-11 https://www.familycirclemediation.com/services daily 0.75 2023-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/1614966537084-U15D6OMKYCOGE3HNO6ER/nathan-dumlao-Wr3comVZJxU-unsplash.jpg Services - Modifications. You already have an agreement or judgment and you need to change it. Modifications occur for a wide range of reasons. Perhaps the judgment was made when the children were young and now as they are teenagers, a new parenting time arrangement is needed; maybe incomes have changed substantially and child support needs to be recalculated or expenses shared in a different way. If you share children, no matter their age, you will always be a part of each other’s lives; for that reason, it is best to resolve disputes civilly and in the best interest of the child. Life changes, and your agreement should reflect what works for your family as life changes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/1630503404748-BSAZWG3G3FJ99HV99SM2/priscilla-du-preez-xM4wUnvbCKk-unsplash.jpg Services - Divorce. You and your partner are married and seeking a divorce. Family Circle offers mediation to address all concerns around divorce, no matter the length of the marriage. Topics that will be discussed include division of assets and debts, marital vs. non-marital property, pensions and retirement accounts, spousal support, child custody and parenting time, and child support. You know your own family the best and know the best solutions for it; Family Circle will be there to help facilitate an agreement that works for all parties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/1614972056780-XH3Z6JPKEN015HUIODCC/eye-for-ebony-zQQ6Y5_RtHE-unsplash.jpg Services - Separation Agreements. You may or may not be married but are separating and have joint assets and/or children. More people today are choosing not to marry. But that does not stop people from living and having children with significant others. Family Circle offers mediation for separation agreements so that you can decide on how you would like to divide shared assets and debts, and/or determine parenting time schedules and child expense sharing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/1616872194131-87IZZ0299HF93FVY77HL/honey-fangs-33iKv_A1E2s-unsplash.jpg Services - Prenuptial Agreements. You are preparing for marriage. More people today are obtaining prenuptial agreements for a variety of reasons -- whether that’s being the children of divorced parents, getting married while older and more financially established, or simply not seeing marriage as a financial relationship. Family Circle will help determine how you financially define your relationship, saving you hardship down the road, and creating clear expectations and understandings for each person during the marriage. Like any contract, prenuptial agreements can always be modified if circumstances change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/4721fe64-cbfb-49fc-8bfe-3a11388ac3ee/justin-follis-A7Um4oi-UYU-unsplash.jpg Services - Couples Mediation. Your relationship is troubled but you both would like to stay together. Couple/Marital mediation is for couples who acknowledge there are issues within their relationship but are committed to staying together to resolve the issues before seeking a separation/divorce. In our sessions we establish compromises to real life issues and learn to communicate better with each other. Issues can range from who does the dishes on which day, sex/polygamy, budgets, child care arrangements, or determining individual rights to retirement accounts. This is not marital therapy but solution based negotiations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040f145b68a5453a86726b6/a5bba9fa-33dd-4df3-a4ac-288f4aa95d19/toa-heftiba-QINqBMYEGyc-unsplash.jpg Services - Co-Habitation Agreements. You may or may not be married and breaking up but will still be living together. These agreements are for those couples who cannot afford to live separately or choosing to stay under the same roof, but are no longer together and need some structure on how to live together. These agreements are for both married and unmarried couples. These agreements help maintain the peace and the relationship through real-life solutions that fit your dynamic.
