Family Law

Family law matters can create a sensitive, stressful and complex dynamic.  We recognize that every situation is personal and unique.  Our job is to provide you with practical and legal guidance to effectively resolve  your problem.  Our attorneys are sensitive, caring, intelligent individuals with families of their own who can empathize with what you may be going through.  We have experience resolving issues with the best possible result for everyone involved.

Connecticut is a "no-fault" state, which means that it is not necessary to prove that a spouse is at fault in order to legally end a marriage.  In the majority of cases, divorce matters are settled without the additional trauma of having to go to trial.  In addition to traditional divorce proceedings, we provide a full range of family law legal services including mediation, legal separation, divorce litigation, contempt of court, divorce decree enforcements,  post divorce modification, termination of parental rights, adoptions, child support, custody and visitation.

Divorce mediation has become an increasingly popular and effective alternative to a traditional divorce proceeding.  The process, which involves both spouses and a mediator, can be considered a viable alternative if a couple is able and prepared to deal reasonably with one another.  With the help of a skilled and compassionate mediator, the result can be positive for both parties.  Attorney Greg Allen is an experienced mediator who, by using the mediation process, has been successful in helping couples to arrive at satisfactory arrangements for themselves and their family members while avoiding the time, stress, and expense of a traditional divorce court proceeding.  For more information about divorce proceedings in Connecticut, visit "Connecticut Law about Divorce" on the Connecticut Judicial Branch on-line Law Libraries.
