"I was referred to Schoonmaker George by a friend, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made. I didn’t know anything about the divorce process, what to expect, or how it worked. I reached out based on that recommendation and had my initial consultation with Aidan Welsh, who was incredibly understanding and explained everything clearly. She then connected me with Molly Miller, another partner at the firm, and we hit it off immediately. From the beginning, Molly offered practical advice that I really needed at that time. Having someone to ground me during a difficult process was huge." - Former Client

Many fathers worry the system is stacked against them. The truth: Connecticut courts focus on the best interests of the child, not the gender of the parent. But that doesn't mean you should navigate custody without an advocate.

For most families, the home is the most emotionally loaded asset in a divorce and often the most financially significant. Connecticut follows equitable distribution rather than an automatic 50/50 split. Here's how courts actually handle it.

"Through everything, Jill made sure I understood each decision. I didn’t just feel like a passenger in the process; she worked with me and helped me learn how to protect my interests, especially in dealing with my ex. It was an empowering experience, and the confidence I gained through working with Jill has made all the difference in my life.
