Connecticut family law overview
Understanding Connecticut's family law statutes helps you protect your rights and plan your case. Here's what you need to know.
Divorce Requirements
Adultery, Fraudulent contract, Willful desertion for 1 year, Habitual intemperance, Intolerable cruelty, Sentence to life imprisonment, Confinement for mental illness for 5 years
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.
Property Division
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.
Child Custody
Best interests of the child
Yes
- •The temperament and developmental needs of the child
- •The capacity and disposition of the parents to understand and meet the needs of the child
- •Any relevant and material information obtained from the child
- •The wishes of the child's parents
- •The past and current interaction and relationship of each parent with the child
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.
Child Support
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.
Alimony & Spousal Support
- •Temporary
- •Rehabilitative
- •Permanent
- •Lump-sum
- •The length of the marriage
- •The causes for the dissolution of the marriage
- •The age, health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income of each party
- •The vocational skills and employability of each party
- •The estate and needs of each party
- +1 more factors
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.
