Divorce Guidance Built Around You
Divorce is never easy, but it doesn't have to be destructive. We help clients through both contested and uncontested divorces, guiding them through the legal process with respect and discretion. Our approach is rooted in reducing conflict, preserving dignity, and creating a path forward. Whether your case involves asset division, custody, support, or all of the above, our attorneys work to resolve your issues efficiently and fairly—always with an eye toward the future. We handle all aspects of divorce, including the legal drafting of documents, negotiating settlements, and representing clients in court when necessary. If you’re pursuing an uncontested divorce, we can help you navigate the process smoothly while maintaining privacy and cooperation. For high-conflict cases, we bring a firm yet reasonable approach to protect your interests without escalating unnecessary disputes.
Mediation and Collaborative Solutions
Many of our clients come to us asking if there’s a better way to divorce—and the answer is often yes. Divorce mediation offers a more peaceful, cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation. In mediation, both parties work with a neutral third party to reach agreements that work for everyone involved. This method encourages communication, speeds up the process, and reduces the emotional and financial toll of divorce. Attorney Diane R. Chace, a seasoned family law practitioner admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1992, brings years of experience in high-conflict divorce cases and a deep belief in the power of civility and compromise. She has seen firsthand how mediation can help families—especially those with children—transition to a new chapter with grace and mutual respect. In addition to mediation, we offer collaborative divorce services, where both parties and their attorneys commit to resolving issues outside of court. These options give you more control over the outcome and help preserve relationships—something especially important in co-parenting situations.
Beyond Divorce: Comprehensive Family Law Support
While divorce is a central part of family law, it's far from the only issue we help clients address. Our attorneys also assist with legal matters that affect families at many stages of life. If you’re preparing for marriage and want to protect assets with a prenuptial agreement, we can help you draft a fair and enforceable contract. If you’re expanding your family through adoption or need legal help in another area—such as postnuptial agreements or separation planning—we’re here to guide you. Family law involves deeply personal decisions. That’s why we focus on clear communication, honest guidance, and solutions tailored to your situation. You’re not just a case file to us—you’re a parent, a partner, a person planning for a better future.
