Family Divorce Attorney in Connecticut

Divorce doesn’t have to feel like a battle. We work hard to resolve complex matters through cooperation, rather than conflict. We guide clients to results that preserve family relationships, reduce costs, and promote long-term emotional and financial stability.

Our family divorce lawyers handle all aspects of Connecticut divorce law, including:

Divorce Mediation – A confidential, structured process that allows both spouses to reach an agreement on property, finances, and parenting without a judge deciding for them.
Collaborative Divorce – A team-based method whereby attorneys, financial and mental-health neutral professionals help spouses negotiate in good faith and maintain control over outcomes.
Divorce Arbitration – For couples who prefer privacy and efficiency, arbitration provides a binding decision outside the courtroom.
Litigated Divorce – When all else fails, our attorneys protect your interests through precise preparation and persuasive advocacy in court.

Each option is designed to fit different circumstances—whether you want to settle quietly or need firm representation in contested proceedings.

Protecting What Matters Most

A divorce touches every part of your life. We help you make informed decisions about the issues that carry lasting impact:

Parenting Plans – Developing fair, realistic parenting arrangements that prioritize children’s best interests.
Child Support – Ensuring financial contributions reflect Connecticut’s income-share guidelines and your family’s actual needs.
Alimony (Spousal Support) – Balancing financial fairness and independence, whether you’re seeking or paying support.
Property Division – Equitably dividing the value of homes, investments, and retirement accounts with transparency and accuracy.
Business and High-Asset Divorce – Preserving company value, assessing compensation structures, and engaging financial experts when necessary.

When appropriate, we work with outside specialists — accountants, appraisers, and mental health professionals — to provide clients a complete perspective before any decision is made.

Divorce Done Differently

Our firm approaches divorce as more than a legal contest. We believe in helping people transition to the next stage of life with confidence, integrity, and financial security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the grounds for divorce in Connecticut?

Connecticut is a no-fault divorce state, which means the most common ground is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. You do not have to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. Connecticut also recognizes certain fault-based grounds, such as adultery or intolerable cruelty, which can occassionally affect how a court approaches alimony or property division.

How is property divided in a Connecticut divorce?

Connecticut follows the principle of equitable distribution under Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-81, which means marital property is divided fairly rather than necessarily equally. Connecticut is an all-property state, so the court may consider virtually all assets either spouse owns, including those acquired before the marriage or by inheritance. Judges weigh factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, and their respective financial circumstances.

Do I have to go to court to get divorced in Connecticut?

Most Connecticut divorces are resolved without a trial. Through mediation, collaborative divorce, or a negotiated settlement, couples can reach a complete agreement and appear in court only briefly, if at all, for the judge to approve the final judgment. Litigation and a courtroom trial become necessary only when spouses cannot agree on key issues.

Can I modify my divorce judgment later?

Yes. Many parts of a Connecticut divorce judgment, including alimony, child support, and custody or parenting arrangements, can be modified after the divorce if there is a substantial change in circumstances, unless your agreement makes a particular term non-modifiable. Property division, by contrast, is generally final and not subject to later modification.
