Exploring Your Divorce Options In Connecticut
There are three primary ways to resolve a divorce in Connecticut, each with their own advantages. Our dedicated Freed Marcroft team will help you choose the path that aligns with your goals and the specific needs of your case.
- Mediation – Mediation could refer to one of two things in Connecticut. First, it could refer to working with a neutral mediator to negotiate and resolve key issues, such as property division and custody arrangements, without going to court. This approach allows you to maintain control over the decisions that shape your future. At Freed Marcroft, we have skilled mediators on our team who can guide you through this process to achieve a resolution that reflects your priorities.
On the other hand, it could refer to a case in which a couple hires a mediator in the middle of litigation to see if they can resolve some outstanding issues and avoid a trial. Though it is less common, it can still be an effective way for a couple to reach an agreement without prolonging the litigation process.
- Litigation – Litigation – or taking action through the court – is traditionally the “default” approach to divorce in Connecticut. Whether your case is low- or high-conflict, our exceptionally capable litigators are prepared to advocate for your interests and pursue the best possible outcome. Even in litigation, many couples reach out-of-court settlements with the right legal guidance.
- Collaborative Divorce – Most people tend to be less familiar with this method of alternative dispute resolution, and may even have misconceptions about what it is and is not. In collaborative divorce, both spouses and their attorneys commit to resolving disputes outside of court in a similar fashion to mediation, but with a lot more structure. This option offers a supportive environment to address complex issues with the assistance of collaboratively trained professionals, and while it may not always be the most cost-effective option, it can be an excellent choice for couples committed to cooperation.
Both spouses must agree to a collaborative divorce in order for it to take place. Our New London divorce lawyers can help you thoroughly understand the ins-and-outs of collaborative divorce to ensure that, if you do choose this path, it is for the right reasons.
Prioritizing Your Children’s Future
If you have kids, custody and visitation arrangements are pivotal in shaping your family’s life post-divorce. At Freed Marcroft, we help parents create thoughtful parenting plans that prioritize their child(ren)’s best interests while supporting your personal goals. We’ll guide you through all your options with care and clarity, ensuring you feel confident in the journey ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce In New London, CT
How can I protect my privacy during divorce?
If confidentiality is one of your major concerns, there are many strategies we can implement to ensure your privacy is protected, such as NDAs, protective orders, limited discovery requests, and more.
Is there any advantage to filing for divorce before my spouse?
Contrary to popular belief, the court does not read into who filed for divorce first. Being the “plaintiff” (one who filed) or the “defendant” (one who was served with divorce papers) will not affect the final outcome of your divorce.
Can I get a postnuptial agreement before getting divorced?
This is not advised. A hasty postnuptial agreement in anticipation of divorce will likely be found “unconscionable” by the court, and therefore unenforceable.
