There is no area of our practice that is more important to or has longer lasting effects for our clients than custody. We are committed to advocating for our collaborative clients and fostering the ability of mediating and collaborating parents to successfully co-parent after the legal process has ended.

Property Division

Dividing the assets and allocating the debts a divorcing couple has accumulated before and during their marriage is one of the most important components of a post divorce financial plan. This firm assists clients to create asset and debt options that meet their needs and helps them implement their choices.

Alimony

Alimony is a payment or series of payments by one spouse to his or her former spouse enabling the receiving spouse to enjoy a better lifestyle than would be possible without the alimony. The topic of alimony is often one of the most challenging aspects of the divorce or legal separation process.

Child Support

In deciding upon child support, the court considers the needs of each minor child and the ability of each parent to pay support. Connecticut has adopted Child Support Guidelines, which include a formula for determining appropriate levels of child support and the contribution of each parent to the child’s medical and child care expenses.

Divorce Terms and Procedures

Legal lingo and procedures that differ from court to court can increase the anxiety of a divorcing person. We help our clients take the mystery out of legal language and the divorce process.
