CT Mediation Center and Divorce Attorneys, LLC

Property division in a divorce can be expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally charged. Hiring one of our attorneys at the beginning can save you a great deal of time and hassle and we can help guide you through every step of the process.

The court considers the following factors when determining the nature and value of property in a divorce: the length of the marriage, the stated cause of the dissolution of the marriage, each spouse's portion of fault for the end of the relationship, health and age of each party, along with many other factors.

All property, regardless of when or how either party acquired it, is subject to division and redistribution by the court, including property obtained individually before the marriage. An equitable distribution approach aims not to split the property equally between both parties but to do so fairly based on specific factors, such as the contributions they made to their marriage, their separate earning potential, and their needs following the divorce.

A collaborative divorce is a new form of divorce resolution where both spouses are represented by a collaborative divorce attorney in the traditional attorney-client relationship. This means that each spouse is represented by their own attorney, but both parties agree to work out all issues and promise to not go to court for litigation.
