What is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a process where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps divorcing couples reach a mutually acceptable agreement on various issues related to their divorce. This alternative dispute resolution method aims to facilitate communication and negotiation between the parties, allowing them to resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom.

What are the Benefits of Choosing Mediation Over Litigation?

Choosing mediation over litigation for resolving disputes, such as divorce or custody issues, offers several benefits.

Here are the key advantages:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced legal fees and overall costs due to fewer court appearances and a streamlined process.
• Faster Resolution: Quicker process with flexible scheduling, leading to a more efficient resolution compared to lengthy court proceedings.
• Confidentiality: Private process with details not part of the public record, protecting sensitive information and encouraging open dialogue.
• Control Over Outcomes: Parties retain control over the outcome, crafting solutions tailored to their specific needs rather than having a judge impose a decision.
• Reduced Emotional Stress: Less confrontational and more amicable, reducing emotional stress and anxiety compared to litigation.
• Preservation of Relationships: Helps maintain positive relationships, especially important in family disputes and co-parenting situations.

How Is The Divorce Mediation Process in Connecticut?

The divorce mediation process typically involves several key steps designed to facilitate negotiation and resolution between divorcing spouses.

Here’s an overview of how the process generally works with our lawyers at Hardy Law Group:

Initial Consultation

Both parties meet with our experienced Hartford County divorce mediation attorney, James R. Hardy, to discuss the process, goals, and expectations. He will review the issues that need to be addressed, such as division of assets, child custody, and support.

Preparation

Each party collects and provides necessary documents and information related to financial assets, debts, and other relevant matters. The parties identify their priorities and goals for the mediation process.

Mediation Sessions

Mediation attorney may begin with opening statements, explaining the process, and establishing ground rules. He will help the parties discuss their issues, identify points of agreement and disagreement, and explore possible solutions.

Finalizing the Agreement

Once agreements are reached on various issues, the mediation attorney will draft a written agreement outlining the terms and conditions. After finalizing the terms, both parties sign the mediation agreement.

Court Approval

The signed mediation agreement is submitted to the court for approval. Once approved by the court, the agreement becomes part of the final divorce decree.

At Hardy Law Group, we can handle issues typically addressed in divorce mediation, such as:

• Child Custody and Parenting Time
• Child Support
• Property Division
• Spousal Support (Alimony)
