I decided on responding with a simple "I would prefer to handle this between us if possible."
W responded "Okay, just making sure."
I like your response as well.
I also like the fact that you came to us BEFORE you responded.
Obviously you will have disagreements. One option to help resolve them is to mutually agree on a mediator before you attempt any negotiations with her. You can lead her through this as well.
My lawyers used this pattern:
One party identifies 3 mediators that they find acceptable and supplies the names and contacts to the other party. The other party reviews and picks one. If they do not like any of them, they find 3 different ones and the first party picks one, or redemands a few other alternatives.
I love this:
