Residency Requirements
It is necessary to be a resident of Connecticut for at least one year before filing for divorce. The return date will be defined by the court, so there is no fixed period of time when the case hearing will start.
Reasons for Divorce in the State of Connecticut
No-fault reasons for divorce in the State of Connecticut are:
- Irretrievable breakdown of a marriage
- Separation for a year and a half on a voluntary basis without contemplation of reconciliation
Fault-based grounds for divorce are:
- Adultery
- Legal cruelty
- Life imprisonment of one of the spouses
- Fraudulent behavior
- Incurable insanity for five years
- Willful desertion and non-support for one year
Parenting Issues
The court accepts agreed decisions of both parties concerning joint or individual custody. If parents cannot arrive at a decision, the court will make it for them. If the divorce is contested, the court will base the decision on the best interests of the child and his or her wishes (if the child is mature enough). Completion of a parenting education program contributes to the decision concerning child custody.
Child Support
The guidelines for defining the amount of the support are quite similar to most other states. Here the gross income of parents is taken into consideration as well as the child-related expenses. The support continues until the child’s 18th birthday and may be prolonged until high school graduation.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
