New London Mediation Lawyer

Empowering Clients, Not Courts

Divorce can be complex, stressful and expensive for both spouses. At the Connecticut divorce mediation law firm of Bruce A. Chamberlain, we're proactive, not reactive, in advocating for our clients' interests. We know we may be facing an uphill battle in a divorce and it's important to start out on the right foot. That may mean preparing for litigation in court-but more often it means looking for what a couple has in common and helping them find their own resolution.

Why have a judge tell you how to run your life if you and your partner can find agreement yourselves? Contact us to learn how.

Bruce Chamberlain works in four-way meetings with his client and the other spouse and opposing attorney to find agreements through mediation when possible. Although a judge will still have to approve these agreements, the process saves our clients money and time, and often yields better results in less confrontational and mutually beneficial decisions.

Addressing All Your Divorce Issues

Any critical divorce decree issue requiring a decision by a court may be handled through the divorce mediation process, including post-divorce modifications involving:

• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Alimony
• Property division
• Paternity
• Parental Rights
• Marital debt obligations
• Health care and life insurance
• Education expenses
• Vacations and holidays

Understanding the Benefits to Your Family

While mediation saves couples considerable time and money, it's important to remember the most important benefit is the process itself. Divorce is an emotionally-charged matter of separating lives, combined with the contentious nature of litigation in court and often results in hostility that is counter-productive. In contrast, mediation considers the emotional and practical issues at stake. Successful mediation focuses on import relationships and the needs of the whole family. By giving control over decision making to the couple rather than a judge, mediation can lead to successful divorce settlements and healthier lives moving forward.

As a skilled divorce and family lawyer, Bruce Chamberlain assists clients and their families begin the healing process by guiding them through divorce mediation as quickly and painlessly as possible. Contact our office to schedule an appointment.
