At the
Law Office of Barney Connaughton our goal is to help divorcing couples work for a Healthy
Divorce. A Healthy Divorce involves the couple participating in fashioning their own
divorce solution. It entails making sound and informed decisions which consider future
financial and emotional well being. It focuses on diffusing, not escalating, conflict and
mis-trust between the couple. It involves making efforts to develop effective avenues of
communication between the couple to place them in a position to resolve future issues
outside of Court. It focuses on meeting the needs of the children, and protecting the
children from the process of divorce. It calls for accessing appropriate resources to
address needs and to provide services and information as needed. It entails making a
commitment to working for a creative, sensible and constructive solution. We are committed to working for a Healthy Divorce by:
- Seeking to diffuse conflict in contested divorce cases
- Promoting forward-focused problem solving
- Providing creative options to the traditional divorce
including mediation and Collaborative
Practice
- Advocating zealously when warranted
- Promoting awareness and consideration of the needs of the
children
- Emphasizing effective communication so clients can make
informed decisions
- Maintaining attention and responsiveness to the client's
needs
- Securing appropriate referrals to needed resources
