Fairfield County Divorce Mediation
Compassionate, Experienced Divorce Mediation in Fairfield County, Connecticut
​
Divorce is never easy — but the process does not have to be adversarial. At Valassis Law Offices, we focus on Fairfield County divorce mediation, helping couples resolve family law matters thoughtfully, efficiently, and respectfully.
As a Connecticut family lawyer and divorce mediator, I guide families through structured, solution-focused mediation designed to reduce stress, preserve dignity, and create durable agreements tailored to your specific needs.
​
What is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce mediation is a confidential, structured process in which a neutral mediator helps spouses reach mutually acceptable agreements regarding:
​
-
Child custody and parenting plans
-
Child support
-
Spousal support (alimony)
-
Division of assets and debts
-
Post-divorce modifications
​
Unlike litigation, mediation allows you to maintain control over the outcome rather than leaving decisions to a judge. Many Fairfield County families prefer mediation because it promotes cooperation and long-term stability — especially where children are involved.
​
Fairfield County Focused Experience
While we provide divorce mediation services throughout Connecticut, this page is dedicated specifically to divorce mediation in Fairfield County, CT.
​
Fairfield County families often have unique financial structures, dual-income households, complex asset portfolios, and demanding professional schedules. Mediation in this region requires not only legal knowledge but also an understanding of:
​
-
Local court procedures
-
Filing protocols and timelines
-
Judicial expectations
-
County-specific case management practices
​
We bring deep familiarity with the procedural requirements of the Fairfield County Superior Courts, including:
​
-
The Stamford Superior Court, located at 123 Hoyt Street, Stamford, Connecticut
-
The Bridgeport Superior Court, located at 1061 Main Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut
-
The Danbury Superior Court, located at 146 White Street, Danbury Connecticut
​
Understanding how cases are processed in these courts — including required forms, mandatory parenting education programs, financial affidavits, and filing procedures — allows us to prepare mediation agreements that are properly structured for court approval when necessary.
​
This procedural fluency helps prevent delays and ensures a smoother transition from mediated agreement to final judgment.
​
Benefits of Fairfield County Divorce Mediation
Couples who choose mediation in Fairfield County often do so for several important reasons:
​
Greater Privacy

​
Cost Efficiency
Litigation in Fairfield County can become expensive and prolonged. Mediation typically reduces overall legal fees and court involvement.
​
Faster Resolution
By avoiding contested hearings and scheduling delays, mediation can significantly shorten the divorce timeline.

A cooperative process lays the groundwork for healthier long-term parenting relationships.
