Divorce Support Groups

Support is crucial at this time

Welcome! I am a Divorce Mediator facilitating several active Farmington support groups offering divorce support for those during or after divorce. I am currently working on establishing more virtual divorce support groups (for women, men, and co-ed) to allow members from all corners of Connecticut and beyond to connect. I look forward to seeing you in our Farmington support groups soon. Please call or email for fees and registration details. Divorce Mediation is also available for those initiating the divorce process.

Finding a divorce support group can be challenging, especially since there are highly personal and legal issues that should not be discussed in a group setting during legal proceedings. Confidentiality in these support groups cannot always be guaranteed.

That being said, there is a significant need for support as you transition through the divorce mediation process, which includes both emotional and legal aspects. Please call or text my office at 203-560-2501 so we can set up a confidential consultation to address your needs. This is an important time to invest in yourself. Expert support can help you move forward with better outcomes. I look forward to meeting you; it will be an exercise in self-care you will not regret!

New divorce support groups are forming, so please reach out for an appointment to meet and discuss your needs. I am doing my very best to accommodate the need for support during this challenging time in your life.

Warmly,

Taylor Leigh,
