Are you or your spouse thinking about a divorce, custody action or other family action?

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your family situation?

Do you need help understanding the legal process?

Do you want to know what your options are?

If you are like most people, the legal process can be confusing and complicated. Lawyers and judges use unfamiliar words or legal
terminology. Paperwork needs to be drafted and filed in a timely manner, and the courtroom has special rules and procedures. It is therefore important that you speak to a divorce attorney or family law attorney, such as myself, who understands what you are going through and who can guide you in the right direction.

I have been practicing for over twenty years in the family law and divorce field and will help you through this difficult and stressful period. I will aggressively work to protect your legal rights. I will explain to you the law and legal process and work with you to develop a strategy that considers your personal needs and goals. I will also explore with you what your options are so that you can make an intelligent decision as to what to do in your case.

I handle all aspects of divorce and family law including:

• divorce
• property division
• spousal support or alimony
• child custody and visitation
• child support
• paternity actions
• domestic violence and restraining orders
• modifications
• premarital and postmarital agreements
• legal separation
• civil unions
• mediation
• collaborative divorce                :

Whether your case requires negotiation, mediation or representation in court, I have the legal knowledge and experience to protect you and your interests.

“The entire divorce process can be intimidating, confusing, and stressful.  I chose Attorney Friar because of her no nonsense style and exceptional understanding of family law. Having moved across country for my work, made the divorce even more complicated. Attorney Friar did a fantastic job of keeping me immediately informed throughout the ordeal and scheduling hearings around my availability. I know that I had the best representation and would highly recommend her services for anyone seeking competent and thorough legal counsel.”
W. Hohler, formerly of Dayville, CT

“I was very fortunate to have Attorney Friar as my divorce lawyer. She did an excellent job and was very informative and thorough.  She made sure that I understood everything. She was very accomodating and promptly answered my phone calls.  I would recommend her to anyone.”
R. Violette, Hebron, CT

”Prior to working with Attorney Friar, I was ignorant and naive about the legal system. Attorney Friar guided me through the process which greatly reduced my stress level. She answered all of my questions and did not act in a superior manner to me. I pretty much got what I wanted out of the divorce.”
K. White, Brooklyn, CT

“My divorce was not an easy process and at times included significant conflict and emotion. Despite all of these factors, Attorney Friar got the job done and did it well. She explained all of my legal options and the possible outcome of each one.
She also explained the legal terms and documents clearly so I understood exactly what was happening.”
L. Bernier, Danielson, CT
