Connecticut Divorce and Mediation Attorney

Protecting Your Right to a Hopeful Future

With a focus on ensuring fair and equitable treatment for individuals and parents throughout the divorce settlement process, the New London, Connecticut law office of Bruce A. Chamberlain has been representing clients in divorce court for more than 20 years.

Divorce attorney Bruce Chamberlain educates his clients about filing for divorce in Connecticut courts and the challenges they may face in court. He also helps his clients to understand their strengths, their rights as a parent, and how they can optimize their results in mediation or in court.

An important part of what we do is help our clients-male or female clients-to develop realistic expectations of divorce court or divorce mediation proceedings. The legal system has improved and men are treated with greater fairness in divorce court these days. Talk to divorce attorney Bruce A. Chamberlain to get an accurate picture of what could happen in your child support case or divorce.

Your Child Support, Custody and Property Division Advocate

Some clients can be excessively pessimistic, expecting that things will go badly. This attitude can prevent them from asking for what they really want. This perspective can lead to unnecessary bitterness and make negotiating difficult. We offer clients hope regarding their personal concerns regarding:

• Child custody (custody and visitation rights consider the relationship both parents have with their children)
• Spousal support (spousal support is gender neutral; it is paid by the higher-paid spouse to the lower-income spouse)
• Property settlement (modest or large estates, proper definition and valuation of all martial assets is key to fair distribution)

For clients who think our society has evolved beyond gender bias, unrealistically positive expectations of how the divorce process will go in court will bring some unwelcome surprises. They will likely find that gender can still be a factor in child custody or alimony and they're in for more of a fight than expected.

Set aside what you THINK you know about Connecticut divorce and talk with an attorney who really knows divorce.

When you come to our law office, you can expect to be treated with respect, to have your rights as a father or mother taken seriously, and to be educated about the process of divorce, including grandparents' rights. Bruce Chamberlain provides compassionate and down-to-earth legal counsel that you can trust.

Mediation

While preparing for divorce litigation in court is still a common approach, we also proactively advocate for couples to find their own resolution through the divorce mediation process, involving meetings outside of the court system that can save clients considerable time and money.
