How long does a Connecticut divorce take?

Connecticut requires a 90-day waiting period from the return date. Uncontested cases often resolve shortly after; contested matters depend on complexity and court calendar.

Do I need grounds to file?

Connecticut allows no-fault divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Fault grounds also exist but are not required.

How is property divided?

Connecticut is an equitable distribution state. Courts consider statutory factors to divide marital property fairly, which is not necessarily equally.
