How divorce mediation often works in Connecticut
These are the topics Connecticut couples most often settle in mediation.
Property and debts
Connecticut courts divide property through equitable distribution and can consider nearly everything either spouse owns. Mediation lets you decide together what feels fair instead of leaving it to a judge.
Parenting
Connecticut looks at legal custody and physical custody, and joint arrangements are common. You can build a parenting plan in mediation that reflects your children’s routines.
Support
Child support in Connecticut generally follows state guidelines, and alimony can depend on many factors. Your mediator can explain how these may apply and help you explore options.
Your written agreement
Your decisions are often written into a separation agreement that the court reviews as part of the divorce. Your mediator can explain what that review may look like.
Many Fairfield County couples choose video sessions to fit mediation around commutes and work.
