Private Family Mediation

Built for people representing themselves. Designed for anyone who wants a clearer, more supported process.

How it works

Fitz & Morri brings matter preparation, financial analysis, mediation, and access to independent attorneys into one coordinated process.

If you reach agreement:

The information gathered throughout the process is carried directly into the agreements, state-approved forms, and supporting documents needed to file and resolve your dispute.

If you do not reach full agreement:

The same organized record carries forward—showing what has been provided, what remains outstanding, and which decisions remain unresolved.

We prepare before you negotiate.

Each party first builds and reviews their own record, working with a mediator to cover the information, documents, finances, priorities, and decisions relevant to resolution.

Fitz & Morri then reconciles the information and supporting documents to create one shared, source-supported record.

Information that cannot yet be reconciled is flagged within the record, including:

  • Conflicting information

  • Missing documentation

  • Unsupported record items

  • Decisions that remain unresolved

The source-supported record becomes the shared foundation for financial analysis and negotiation.

Step 1 — Preparation

A wooden desk with a silver MacBook partially open, a white Apple Magic Mouse beside it, and a white modern chair with wooden legs in front.

The financial information is reviewed and translated into a clear picture of the marital estate.

The parties can see the assets, debts, income, expenses, and potential settlement scenarios before making decisions.

Step 2 — Financial Analysis

A conference room with a large wooden oval table surrounded by brown leather chairs. A small potted plant is on the table, and a large abstract painting hangs on the wall. Large windows with sheer curtains are visible, allowing natural light into the room.

Once the record and financial analysis are complete, the parties move into mediator-led negotiation, with a shared understanding of the matter and the decisions ahead.

The goal is not to rush agreement. It is to make informed agreement more possible.

Step 3 — Negotiation

Legal guidance, when you need it.

The Fitz & Morri Method is designed to work alongside independent family-law counsel when legal advice or representation is needed.

Each party may retain an attorney of their own choosing for targeted support, such as limited-scope advice, mediation representation, agreement review, or post-mediation legal completion. Each attorney represents only the party who hires them.

The goal is to reserve attorney time—and legal spending—for the work that truly requires a lawyer.

Make intentional decisions.

Fitz & Morri gives both parties the structure, information, and professional support needed to move toward resolution.
