Lori's professional credentials could best be described as uniquely qualified. A Divorce & Family Mediator, divorce financial strategist, author, speaker and Voice America Internet radio talk show host, Lori has a passion for helping couples manage and settle their divorce in a sensible, respectful way, reducing the expense, conflict and stress on the couple and especially their children. In 2008 Lori trained as professional Mediator with Lakewood College, a nationally accredited mediation training institution offering a curruculum exceeding the minimum divorce and family mediator requirements legally required in all fifty United States and has since earned her Professional Mediator certification by the National Association of Professional Mediators.
Lori is the founder and co-owner, with her husband Kevin, of the Rhode Island Divorce Mediation Center; a founding member of the Academy of Professional Family Mediators, an organization dedicated to establishing uniform training and certification standards, practices and continuing education programs for professional family Mediators; a member of the Advisory Board of Lakewood College where she was named 2012 Mediator of the Year; the host of her own Internet radio talk show, “A Divorce You Can Live With”, on the Voice America Internet Radio Network; has taught divorce preparation at The Learning Connection in Providence, RI; written numerous articles on divorce and is presently working on her first book.
A divorced parent herself, Lori faced many of the very same struggles and challenges all couples face when divorcing and starting over and this personal experience enables her to not only help her clients create a sensible, fair divorce settlement using her skills as a Mediator but also to help them avoid the emotional and financial traps that plague many divorced couples afterward.
Virtually all Mediation professionals bring an additionl skill set to the mediation table that benefits their clients and Lori is no exception. In addition to her skills as a mediator Lori's 15 year career background in the consumer finance industry has made her expertly qualified to help her clients manage two of the biggest challenges divorcing couples face: managing debt and the fate of the family home. Lori's experience in the fields of home finance, credit repair and debt management enable her to help divorcing couples minimize the financial fallout of divorce and create smart, effective strategies and solutions to help them achieve the best possible financial outcome for both parties given their circumstances, income and resources. Lori assists her clients in the creation of divorce settlements and co-parenting agreements that are fair to both and work to the benefit of both parties which has been proven to dramatically reduce the financial hardship, bitterness and on-going animosity many couples experience after divorce and make the recovery process much easier on the couple and healthier for their children.
The Rhode Island Divorce Mediation Center has earned an enviable reputation for exceeding their client’s expectations which is evidenced by the referrals we recieve from former clients, the heartfelt, independently verified testimonials which can be found on the Divorce Mediation Center’s website: www.ridivorcemediationcenter.com, and most recently by the RI Divorce Mediation Center’s designation as an “Accredited Business” by the Better Business Bureau.
