Collaborative Divorce Lawyer Serving Central Connecticut

A divorce can be expensive, financially and emotionally. Like any other lawsuit, discovery and trial preparation costs can quickly multiply. Tempers may flare and court battles can become out of control.

In an extremely difficult divorce, the parties can become combatants with a "win at all costs" attitude. And the parties' life histories and divorce battle can become public.

Simply put, there is a better way for many people — alternative dispute resolution. When the spouses can agree to cooperate toward a timely and cost-effective resolution, mediation and collaborative divorce may be viable options to consider.

The Law Offices of Robert B. Fried is law firm which is fully trained in the alternative dispute resolution methods of mediation and collaborative divorce. These approaches allow our clients to utilize our extensive knowledge of family law and our 30-plus years of practice experience. Contact our Hartford, Connecticut, office for more information.

The Collaborative Divorce Process

Collaborative divorce is an exciting alternative to the traditional litigated divorce. With an agreement not to go to court, the divorcing parties meet to negotiate their differences. The attorneys are present at all negotiations. With an informal setting and an agreement not to litigate, there is no need for expensive discovery procedures and courtroom litigation.

Some have called it "divorce with dignity" or "peaceful divorce". This is a new way for divorcing parties to control the process and avoid the unknowns of litigated divorce. Your lives remain private. Children are kept out of court and the important decisions are in your control rather than a judge.
