How Milford cases are handled
Filed at the local courthouse
Milford family matters are handled in the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District at 14 West River Street. The court hears divorce, custody, child support, and post-judgment matters for nine towns along the lower Naugatuck Valley and shoreline.
Familiar with the bench
Because the firm appears at this courthouse routinely, scheduling, family-relations referrals, and pretrial conferences are coordinated with familiarity. Clients can typically meet at the office before short-calendar appearances rather than waiting at the courthouse.
Convenient for clients
The High Street office is steps from the Milford Green, a short walk from the Metro-North Milford train station, and serves residents from Downtown Milford, Devon, Walnut Beach, Woodmont, Point Beach, Bayview Beach, Wildemere Beach, Morningside, Anchor Beach, and Burwell Beach — as well as nearby Orange, Stratford, West Haven, and the lower Naugatuck Valley.
What the statute says
One spouse must have lived in Connecticut for twelve months before the final judgment can enter. The case may be filed sooner.
No divorce judgment can enter sooner than 90 days after the return date on the complaint.
Custody and parenting orders are decided under the "best interest of the child" standard set out in C.G.S. § 46b-56.
Support is calculated under the Connecticut Child Support and Arrearage Guidelines, with court-approved deviations in defined circumstances.
