Mediation

West Hartford, Connecticut, Divorce Mediation Attorneys

At Swerdloff & Swerdloff, we understand how difficult it is to be a married couple even in the best of circumstances.

We are Mark and Ileen Swerdloff, a husband-and-wife-team who have been married for more than 40 years and have been practicing in family law for more than 30 years.

We have helped families resolve complicated issues, such as divorce and Legal Separation Practice Area, child custody, child support, visitation, property division and alimony.

Successful Approach to Divorce

Mediation is not appropriate for all clients but, if, after discussion, we determine that you are candidates for mediation, Swerdloff & Swerdloff will provide the representation necessary to successfully guide you both through this difficult time. 

At Swerdloff & Swerdloff, we are not looking to escalate family disputes. If your marriage truly is broken, we want you to be happier divorced than you were married.

When we provide divorce mediation services, we don't act as the attorney for either party. Instead, we explain the law to both parities, while guiding them to reach their own resolution of their financial and child custody issues through a series of meetings and discussions.

As mediators, we will help you work for the happily-ever-after divorce as a restructured family and not as a destroyed family.

What Are the Advantages of Mediation?

Mediation allows both parties to bypass the adversarial trauma of going to family court, which often increases conflict. Instead, you and your spouse will seek to resolve the issues of your divorce in a series of meetings conducted by the mediator.

The outcome of mediation is not binding on either party, until you both agree and sign a contract. When you and your spouse come to an agreement, we will draft the legal papers necessary for filing at the court.

Less Expensive Divorce Option

Usually, mediation is much less expensive than a contested divorce. Both parties are paying for the services of one mediator to guide them through the divorce process, rather than each side paying for a lawyer. In turn, the process is also less emotionally draining. If you and your spouse are candidates for successful mediation, we are here to help you.
