Mark your calendars! Jill Heitler Blomberg will be the keynote speaker at YWCA Greenwich’s 2026 The Rising Conference on October 21.

A 2024 Purple Ribbon Award recipient and accomplished matrimonial attorney, Jill will lead an important conversation on financial abuse, “What You Need to Know Before You Leave and After You Have Left.”

Financial abuse can take many forms, from controlling access to money and employment to restricting basic necessities. It is a common and often overlooked form of domestic abuse, with lasting consequences for survivors.

Join Jill on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, as we raise awareness, explore practical steps toward financial safety and independence, and empower survivors with the knowledge and resources to move forward.

For executives in Fairfield County, compensation is rarely just a salary. RSUs, stock options, and deferred comp can all become points of dispute in divorce, and getting the valuation wrong is costly.

"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.
