Hi, I’m Madelaine Martin.
I am an entrepreneur who refuses to follow the status quo, with ten years of experience streamlining systems across a variety of industries by doing just that.
After my first introduction to family mediation, I quickly began to see the limitations of the traditional process. Families were arriving at mediation emotionally, logistically, and financially unprepared to make consequential decisions about their futures—even when attorneys were involved.
So, I started looking upstream.
I asked what would happen if mediation did not begin at the negotiation table. What if families had time to organize the information, understand the decisions in front of them, identify what mattered most, and work through the questions underneath the conflict before they were asked to resolve it?
After many conversations, observations, and iterations, that question became the Fitz & Morri Method.
The Fitz & Morri Method
Big decisions deserve more than a hurried answer across a negotiation table. The Fitz & Morri Method gives you time to organize the details, ask questions, and think through what matters before you’re asked to make those decisions.
Through private meetings, online conversations, reflective forms, and document review, we help each person build a clearer picture of their finances, priorities, and concerns. We identify missing or conflicting information and work through the everyday realities behind a proposal—what you can afford, how a schedule fits your children’s lives, and what each arrangement would require of you.
For parents, that preparation also includes how you’ll communicate, hold boundaries, and handle the changes that inevitably come with raising children across two homes. Those skills take practice, and we make room for that alongside the paperwork and decisions.
When mediation begins, you have an organized record to refer to and priorities you’ve had time to consider. As agreements take shape, we help connect them to the filing steps and practical routines ahead—so the work you do here carries into the life you’re building.
