Fairfield Divorce FAQs
Is Connecticut a 50/50 divorce state?
Not exactly. Connecticut uses equitable distribution, which means the court divides property in a way it considers fair, not necessarily equal. Factors like income, contribution to the marriage, and each spouse’s needs all come into play.
How long does a divorce take in Connecticut?
There’s a mandatory 90-day waiting period once paperwork is filed. Some divorces are finalized shortly after that. Others take longer depending on disputes over custody, property, or support.
Do I have to go to court for a divorce?
Not always. If both parties agree on all terms, you may be able to finalize your divorce without a full court hearing. Mediation can help avoid litigation.
What if my spouse and I already agree on everything?
That’s great. You’ll still need to file the proper documents and possibly appear in court briefly, but the process is usually quicker, smoother, and more affordable.
