• How to file for divorce in Connecticut
• What happens to the marital home
• How custody decisions are made

Divorce Cases Involving Financial and Property Issues

Some divorce cases involve substantial financial complexity. This may include real estate, retirement assets, business ownership, investments, inherited property, and disagreements about how marital property should be divided. These matters require careful analysis, experienced legal guidance, and may call for the involvement of experts in our network of professionals who specialize in business valuation, property appraisal, QDRO, and other specific areas of expertise.

Flaherty Legal Group represents Hartford clients in divorce matters involving both routine financial issues and more complex property division disputes. We work to protect our clients’ financial interests while pursuing practical resolutions whenever possible.

Child Custody, Parenting Issues, and Divorce

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in Hartford, CT

Do I need a lawyer for a divorce in Hartford?

A lawyer can be especially important when your divorce involves custody, child support, alimony, property division, or disagreement between spouses.

How long does a divorce take in Connecticut?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and whether it is contested or uncontested. Connecticut law requires a 90 day waiting period from the date the divorce is filed before it can be finalized. Uncontested divorces may be resolved shortly after that period, while contested cases involving custody, support, or property disputes can take significantly longer.

Is Connecticut a no-fault divorce state?

Yes. Connecticut allows divorce on no-fault grounds, meaning a spouse can file without proving wrongdoing by the other party. The most common ground cited is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. Fault-based grounds are still available and may affect certain aspects of the case, such as alimony or property division.

How is property divided in a Connecticut divorce?

Connecticut follows an equitable distribution model, which means marital property is divided in a way the court considers fair, not necessarily equal. Judges consider factors such as the length of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse, the financial circumstances of both parties, and the needs of any children involved.
