What Are Your Options For Divorce In Branford, Connecticut?
In the state of Connecticut, there are three ways to approach divorce.
- Litigation is the “default” approach for divorce and involves taking legal action through the court. However, it is still possible to reach an out-of-court settlement agreement. Contrary to popular belief, litigation does not have to be a contentious court battle – rather, many divorce litigation cases are low-conflict and allow spouses to work with their lawyers to reach a resolution. Our team is competent, decisive, and dedicated to securing the outcome you desire.
- Collaborative divorce is an option most people tend to be less familiar with or have misconceptions about. Similar to mediation, it is a form of alternative dispute resolution that mainly occurs outside of court. Both spouses must agree to collaboration for it to be a viable option. It differs from mediation in that both spouses have their lawyers present for most of the process, and there is a bit more structure involved as the couple works through their issues and reaches agreements.
While collaborative divorce is not necessarily an inexpensive option, you can trust our Branford divorce lawyers to ensure you thoroughly understand it and know what to expect, so that if you choose this route, it will be because it is the one that makes the most sense for your situation.
- Mediation is the third and final option for divorce in Connecticut, and it is also another form of alternative dispute resolution. However, there are two possible scenarios in which a divorcing couple might choose mediation.
The first and most common is going through mediation to resolve the divorce. It involves retaining a neutral mediator to help you work through all of the matters required by the court before the divorce can be granted. The second scenario involves hiring a mediator in the middle of divorce litigation to attempt to resolve some of your outstanding issues and avoid going to trial.
Our Branford divorce lawyers can help you understand the pros and cons of all three divorce options so you can make the best choice for you and your family. No matter which you choose, we will design a divorce personalized to your family and your goals.
