Have Questions?
-
What is alimony?Alimony is a court-ordered payment from one party to another. There are several factors that come into play when determining if one party should be granted alimony including, but not limited to, the length of the marriage, the amount and sources of income, and the causes for the breakdown of the marriage. Connecticut does not have alimony guidelines, which means that the decision to award alimony, including the duration and the amount, is entirely in the judge’s discretion.
-
What are the grounds for a “fault” divorce?
The fault grounds for divorce include adultery, fraudulent contract, desertion, alcohol or drug addiction, intolerable cruelty, imprisonment, and others. To get divorced, one party must establish one of these grounds. It is uncommon for one party to ask for a divorce on a fault-based ground.
A party does not need to file for divorce on a fault-based ground, however, to argue that the court should consider the other party’s fault. The court may consider the fault of either party when making alimony and property division orders.
-
Does Connecticut have no-fault divorce?Connecticut has no-fault divorce, meaning that neither party needs to establish that the other is at fault to get divorced. Instead, to get divorced, one party must show that the marriage has irretrievably broken down with no hope of reconciliation. However, no-fault divorce does not mean that the fault of one or both parties is irrelevant. The court may still consider fault when making awards of alimony or dividing property.
-
What is joint custody?
There are two types of joint custody: joint legal custody and joint physical custody. Legal custody concerns the parents’ ability to make major decisions for their children. Major decisions include health, education, and religious decisions. If parents have joint legal custody, the parents are required to agree on all major decisions for their children.
Physical custody addresses when the children are with each parent. If the parents have joint physical custody, each parent spends time with the children. In some cases, parents may have shared physical custody, which means the children spend approximately half the time with each parent.
