Connecticut Family Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Connecticut
Connecticut adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. Up to 90 days under some circumstances; varies.
Alimony in Connecticut: How It Works
Connecticut calls it alimony. Wide judicial discretion.
Annulment in Connecticut
An annulment in Connecticut declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Bigamy, incest, mental incapacity.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Connecticut
Connecticut child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. No presumption for joint custody; courts decide based on the child's best interests with shared physical and legal custody available.
Child Emancipation in Connecticut
Connecticut child emancipation generally requires age 16 or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Connecticut
Connecticut child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. Reasonable notice.
Child Support Calculations in Connecticut
Connecticut calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Connecticut
Connecticut unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Connecticut
Connecticut collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Connecticut
Connecticut does NOT recognize common-law marriage. Cohabitation alone — even for decades — does not create marriage rights here.
Family-Court Contempt in Connecticut
Connecticut family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Connecticut
Connecticut allows both no-fault and traditional fault-based divorces. Most divorces use the no-fault path: irretrievable breakdown or 18-month separation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is child support calculated?

Most states use guidelines based on both parents' incomes, the number of children and custody time.

What if the other parent isn't paying?

Support can be enforced through wage withholding, liens, license suspension and contempt. A lawyer can start the process.

Do I need a family lawyer if we agree on everything?

Not always, but a lawyer can make sure the agreement is complete, fair and enforceable — especially when children, a home or retirement accounts are involved.

How much does a family lawyer in Connecticut cost?

Most charge hourly against a retainer; some offer flat fees for uncontested matters. Ask for the fee structure in writing at your first meeting.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Any court papers, a list of assets and debts, recent pay stubs and tax returns, and notes on your children's schedule if custody is involved.
