What is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce is considered a legal proceeding in which the spouses cannot reach an agreement on key issues related to the divorce. These issues typically encompass matters such as property division, child custody, spousal support, and more. Contested divorces often lead to disputes and contentious legal battles instead of a relatively amicable process in which both parties agree on these matters. In a contested divorce, both parties might have fundamentally different views on how assets should be divided or how custody of children should be arranged.

Contested Divorce Requirements in Connecticut

Contested divorces in Connecticut are subject to specific legal requirements and procedures that both parties must adhere to. Understanding these requirements is crucial, as they play a significant role in the outcome of your case. Here are some key elements of contested divorce in Connecticut: 

  • Grounds for Divorce: Connecticut recognizes both "fault" and "no-fault" grounds for divorce. "Fault" grounds include adultery, desertion, intolerable cruelty, and other similar reasons. "No-fault" grounds include the breakdown of the marriage due to irreconcilable differences. Understanding the grounds for your divorce is essential, as it can impact various aspects of the proceedings, including property division and alimony.
