Mediation and Adoption with Joy Rosenthal
In this episode we chat with mediator Joy Rosenthal about her role as an objective third party helping couples through contentious situations. She surmises that her goal is to keep the parties together as much as possible especially in a court judicial system that is not set up for people to voice their fears, and work through conflict. She discusses how the adversarial system built for business isn't what's best for the whole family.  In this episode we cover:- Litigation versus Mediation- Social Justice vs. Zealous Advocacy- The Process of Mediation- Working With High Conflict Couples- Second Parent Adoptions- The Presumption of Parentage
