Connecticut Divorce Mediation: A Healthier Way Forward

Finding a healthy way forward through divorce mediation.
Divorce can be stressful and confusing. You may feel helpless, powerless, or concerned about the decisions you need to make along the way. You may be worried that you and your separating partner will be unable to arrive at a resolution or, worse, that you will be in divorce court for years, and the process will be expensive and conflict-ridden. It doesn’t have to be that way!
Our mission is simple: to be different than other firms, by making your divorce as easy, efficient, and with the best results possible under all circumstances. We do this by providing options such as divorce mediation and collaborative divorce and, when necessary, litigation options that empower divorcing and post-divorce clients to work towards achieving life goals, while emotionally and financially stabilizing their family.

We understand that in a divorce, both parties have a unique perspective. We start by taking the time to listen to you, without judgment. We explore and clearly communicate all of your options, whether together or as an individual, empowering you to make well-informed decisions and to take the best approach for your specific situation. We then guide you, or you and your separating partner, on the best path to a more dignified divorce with intention and purpose.
In divorce mediation, a neutral, third-party mediator facilitates discussions between both parties, with the goal of reaching a mutually agreeable solution without going to court.
In collaborative divorce, both parties work as a team with their respective lawyers (certified as “collaborative attorneys”) and usually other professionals (a financial planner and mental health professional), to negotiate and agree on divorce terms collaboratively, outside of court.
Arbitration in divorce involves a private, binding decision made by an arbitrator, who is a privately hired “judge,” to resolve disputes when parties cannot agree on their own.
Divorce Coaching: Divorce coaching provides personalized guidance and support to individuals going through the process without the cost of hiring a lawyer to represent them directly in divorce proceedings.
There are some matters that are not well-suited for alternative dispute resolution. These divorces will need to be brought to the court system, and handled surgically, with both skill and precision.
Our philosophy is that divorce does not have to be a battle fraught with emotion. Attorney Posmantier has successfully litigated many difficult and complex financial and parenting matters. However, the true “winner” is almost always the lawyers representing the parties. While some matters require court intervention, for many, alternate dispute resolution (ADR) offers a much more amicable, and, not to mention, efficient path to resolving marital disputes. Alternative dispute methods encourage a more cooperative environment that fosters mutual respect and understanding and lays the foundation for positive post-divorce relationships, which is particularly important for divorcing parents.
With more than twenty-five years practicing family law both in and out of the courts, we offer options. Those options include litigation, and also easier, usually less expensive, lower-conflict processes that are just as powerful and effective as litigation. We use strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and innovative approaches, to obtain better and faster results with less conflict, cost, and time.
