Property Division

How to approach the division of marital assets between divorcing parties requires experience and knowledge. Our Connecticut divorce attorneys have decades of experience negotiating the division of property, businesses, cash, investments, and other assets.

Alimony

Both parties in a dissolution of marriage hope to achieve a favorable outcome when it comes to alimony negotiations and judgments. Hiring a divorce attorney with knowledge of the Connecticut Family Law courts, judges, attorneys, and systems will better position you for a favorable outcome.

Post Judgement Issues

Circumstances can change after a divorce judgment has been issued. The dynamics of raising children may change how custody arrangements should be handled. Financial conditions may change due to new employment, loss of employment, children going to college, retirement, etc. It is essential to have a seasoned Connecticut Family Law attorney on your side when post judgment issues arise.

Divorce Modification

When you feel modifications to your divorce order are needed, or if your former spouse files motions to modify your divorce order, the wise move is to work with an experienced divorce attorney who has worked many post judgment modification cases in their career. Our West Hartford divorce attorneys have represented thousands of clients in post judgment modification cases.

When successful businesses, multiple properties, large investment portfolios, and other valuable assets are at stake in a divorce matter, the valuation and division of assets can be extremely complex.
