Sarasota Divorce Mediation: Retired Supreme Court Justice Team Member Announced

Honorable Margaret Walsh (Ret.), a former New York State Supreme Court Justice with more than eighteen years on the bench, has joined Resolvium Mediation Group. Working out of Sarasota, FL, she will offer clients divorce and family mediation services, drawing on her extensive family and matrimonial court experience to help couples resolve disputes outside the courtroom. To learn more about divorce mediation services, go to https://resolvium.com/honorable-margaret-walsh/ Before her time on the bench, Walsh practiced law representing clients in divorce, custody, and other family litigation matters. This combination of courtroom advocacy and judicial decision-making gives her insight into both sides of family law proceedings. She recently stepped down as Senior Co-Chair of the New York State Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics, a panel of 27 judges that issues opinions on ethical matters affecting judges across the state. Throughout her judicial career, Walsh witnessed how court battles could deepen conflict and cause lasting harm to children, seeing firsthand that families who reached agreements outside of court often experienced more positive outcomes, both emotionally and practically. That insight shaped her approach even while serving as a judge, where she prioritized helping parents find common ground. Now working from Sarasota, Walsh focuses exclusively on mediation rather than courtroom representation. She believes this approach protects children, preserves dignity, and empowers parents to move forward with clarity and cooperation. Her services are available to families nationwide who want lasting, fair, and fast resolution to their disputes. "We're thrilled to have someone with Justice Walsh's background join our team," a spokesperson for Resolvium said. "Her years of watching families go through the court system gave her a clear understanding of what works and what doesn't. She knows firsthand that when parents can reach their own agreements, the outcomes tend to stick better and the whole family benefits." The mediation process offers several advantages over traditional litigation, including reduced stress, greater control over outcomes, and faster resolution times. Because mediation happens in a confidential setting, families can protect their personal information from public court records. Resolvium serves clients across multiple locations, including New York, Florida, California, Texas, and other states. The team works with couples on divorce, child custody, co-parenting arrangements, and property division matters.
