We will do whatever we can, within the parameters of our position as lawyers and legal professionals, to help you secure your divorce goals (because your goals matter) and redefine your life.
- We will always tell you the truth (even when it’s hard) – Trusting your lawyer to give you the insights you need to make your own decisions is an important part of the divorce process. We irrevocably believe in your ability to decide what’s best for you. Even so, our Wethersfield divorce lawyers are dedicated to being fully transparent with you, even if you may not want to hear it. We are seasoned attorneys, not magicians, so it’s necessary for you to know the parameters of the legal landscape so that you can make the best decisions possible based on that reality. Divorce involves making a lot of weighty decisions; you need all the information. This includes honest and practiced opinions about your chances of success in front of a Judge, for example.
- We anticipate what needs to be done – Because we solely practice divorce and family law in Connecticut, we have a thorough working knowledge of the way the Connecticut courts and divorce process work. We tell you what is happening in your case promptly, frequently, and before you ask.
What Are The Divorce Options In Connecticut?
Here in Connecticut, there are three possible ways you could approach your divorce.
- Litigation – This approach is the “default” for divorce, and involves taking legal action through the court. However, it is still possible to reach an out-of-court settlement agreement, and many divorcing couples do. Litigation does not have to be hostile, either; many divorce litigations are low-conflict and allow both spouses to work with their lawyers to reach a resolution.
Whether your divorce is high conflict or low conflict, our Freed Marcroft team is accomplished, experienced, proactive, and capable of working to achieve optimal results.
- Collaborative Divorce – Many people tend to be less familiar with this form of alternative dispute resolution, and might even have misperceptions about what it entails. Like mediation, this type of divorce happens mainly outside of court. One thing to note about collaboration is that both spouses must agree to go this route, or else a collaborative divorce cannot happen.
On the other hand, collaboration is different from mediation in that both spouses have their lawyers by their side for much of the process. There is also a significant amount of structure involved to support the spouses as they work through their issues and make decisions.
A collaborative divorce is not necessarily a cost-effective option, but you can count on our Wethersfield divorce lawyers to tell you what you need to know and ensure you have the right expectations before choosing this path, so that if you do, it will be for the right reasons.
- Mediation – In Connecticut, mediation could refer to one of two distinct processes. The first is when a couple obtains a neutral mediator to help them work through all of the issues required in Connecticut for the court to grant a divorce. Freed Marcroft’s team of divorce attorneys consists of experienced divorce mediators.
The other process, although less common, is when a divorcing couple hires a mediator in the middle of divorce litigation to see if they can resolve some outstanding issues and avoid going to trial. The main advantage of using mediation is that you and your spouse can work together to reach an agreement that fits your needs, instead of a Judge who may not be familiar with your situation.
Our Wethersfield divorce lawyers can help you get a clear understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of all three divorce options so you can choose the right one for you and your family. Then, we will design a divorce customized to your family and your goals.
