Barney Connaughton and Brianna Kappner of A Healthy Divorce, are a great team to help folks get through the divorce process. They are kind, patient, and thorough. They handled all the filings with the court, so we did not need to appear in person. We were also able to handle all our meetings and correspondence by Zoom and email. This saved us time, and reduced the stress level.
Going through with a divorce was terribly heartbreaking for me, but I am so grateful to have found Barney and Brianna as they helped the process move along to resolution in the kindest and most supportive way possible. Thank you!

Kind, patient and informative. He helped us work through the process and come to an agreement in a timely manner. He was very responsive on email as well.
While divorce is never fun or easy Barney and Brianna. We are absolutely amazing at making the process goes so smoothly. They were gracious and willing to do everything that I asked and we’re always there with a hug and a kind word. I cannot recommend them enough to help you go through mediation. I’m so grateful that I found them and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to make this process easier
A friend recommended A Healthy Divorce to me, and she was right; I had a great experience working with Barney. He was clear, attentive, and helpful, guiding us through every step of the process. I would strongly recommend A Healthy Divorce!

Barney was friendly and professional on our initial call, but unfortunately we didn't proceed after our first mediation session.
For our situation, which involved a career pause, income imbalance, and more nuanced spousal support considerations, his approach felt very formula-based. He seems best suited for simple, straightforward cases with minimal complexity.
After speaking with other professionals, specifically a CDFA who has worked with Barney and learning more about mediation, I feel better about my decision to pause, and find someone better aligned with our needs.
