Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.
We assess your situation, the child's needs, and develop a custody strategy. This includes evaluating any international risks, domestic violence history, and each parent's involvement in the child's life.
We draft a proposed parenting plan covering physical custody schedule, decision-making authority, holidays, vacations, and communication. For Arab families, this often includes provisions for religious education and cultural practices.
Many courts require mediation before trial. We negotiate with the other parent's attorney to reach agreement. Mediation is often more productive for Arab families who want to minimize public conflict.
A court-appointed evaluator interviews both parents, the child, and sometimes teachers and other figures. They observe parent-child interactions and make recommendations to the judge. We prepare you thoroughly for this critical step.

Connecticut allows both no-fault and fault-based divorce. The 90-day waiting period begins when the non-filing spouse is served. Connecticut has a unique "dissolution of marriage" proceeding that can address all issues — property, custody, and support — in a single action.
Connecticut uses equitable distribution, dividing marital property fairly but not necessarily equally. Notably, Connecticut courts can divide ALL property owned by either spouse, including separate property acquired before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance. This "all-property" approach is broader than most states.
Connecticut's all-property equitable distribution system means the court has discretion to divide premarital and inherited assets. Mahr agreements may be analyzed under contract law principles. An Arabic-speaking family lawyer can help present the mahr as an enforceable contract.
Best interests of the child
Yes
Connecticut courts encourage joint custody unless it would be detrimental to the child. The court distinguishes between legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (residence). A Guardian Ad Litem may be appointed to represent the child's interests in contested cases.
Connecticut uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined net income, the number of children, and the parenting schedule. The state provides detailed guidelines and worksheets. Deviations from guidelines require specific findings by the court.
Support continues until age 18, or 19 if the child is still in high school. Connecticut courts can order post-majority educational support for college. The guidelines are reviewed and updated periodically by the Commission for Child Support Guidelines.
Connecticut courts have broad discretion in awarding alimony. There are no fixed formulas, and the court considers the totality of the circumstances. Permanent alimony is available for long-term marriages. Connecticut is one of few states where marital fault can be considered in alimony awards.
