Connecticut Filing Requirements

You or your spouse must meet the Connecticut residency requirements for the Superior Court to have jurisdiction of your case. The requirements before filing your Divorce Complaint (the document that initiates your divorce) are as follows:

In order to use this service, you and your spouse must agree (or eventually agree) on getting the divorce. Your spouse's participation is minimal, being he or she will only have to sign a few documents and return them to you for filing with the court.

Connecticut Grounds for Divorce

The most common "uncontested" grounds for divorce in Connecticut are:

1. The marriage has broken down irretrievably.

2. The parties have lived apart by reason of incompatibility for a continuous period of at least the 18 months immediately prior to the service of the complaint and that there is no reasonable prospect that they will be reconciled.
