The Benefits of Mediation
Mediation is cheaper than taking a dispute to court and provides parties with an opportunity to work together in crafting an agreement. In cases involving the dissolution of marriage and children, mediation provides a method of resolving your differences in a way that is easier on children. Mediation also provides couples with:
- A private setting where they can speak freely
- Guidance from a neutral facilitator on potential issues and options
- Control over the time and expense
- Control over the final outcome of their matter
- A voluntary agreement that is enforceable in court
Mediation Can Help Resolve Most Family Legal Issues
In Connecticut, mediation is required before taking your divorce to trial. You may also mediate a number of other concerns relating to your family, including:
- Legal separation
- Child custody and parenting plans
- Child support
- Spousal support/alimony
- Property division
- Modification of existing court orders
In these cases, we serve as a neutral figure in the proceedings. As an attorney-mediator, Frederick F. Ward will provide insight into the law and prepare all legal documents for you. If we believe mediation is not right for your situation, we will suggest other options that may be available to you, including collaborative divorce.
If you are in need of skilled guidance from an experienced attorney trained in the process of mediation, contact us today for a consultation.
