Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the divorce process in Connecticut?
- Connecticut divorces begin with filing a dissolution of marriage complaint in Superior Court. If both parties agree on all issues — property, custody, and support — an uncontested divorce can be finalized relatively quickly. Contested cases proceed through discovery, mediation, and potentially trial before a judge issues a final decree.
- How does Connecticut handle child custody disputes?
- Connecticut courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as each parent’s relationship with the child, stability of the home environment, and the child’s own wishes if the child is of sufficient age and maturity. Both legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (residential arrangements) are addressed.
- Can Attorney Crough help if I have an ongoing case that isn’t moving forward?
- Based on multiple client accounts, Attorney Crough has successfully taken over stalled cases and driven them to resolution after clients experienced frustration with prior counsel. Contact the firm to discuss whether a transition of representation makes sense for your situation.
Quick Facts
- Connecticut’s Superior Court recorded 9,698 new divorce filings in fiscal year 2022–2023, a 30% decline from the 13,841 filings recorded in 2002–2003 (Connecticut Judicial Branch).
- Litchfield County, where New Milford is located, is served by the Litchfield Judicial District Superior Court, which handles all family matters including dissolution of marriage, custody, and support modifications.
- Connecticut is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally — courts weigh each spouse’s contributions, earning capacity, and circumstances when dividing assets.
