Family Law Cases We Handle
Let Us Fight for Your Rights and Your Future
Our Family Law Services
We handle a host of Connecticut family law matters, such as:
- Divorce: The legal dissolution of a marriage, formally ending the legal rights and obligations of the spouses towards each other. This can include high net worth divorce, LGBT+ divorce, military divorce, and “gray” divorce involving couples married for decades.
- Mediation: A collaborative process where a neutral third party facilitates communication and negotiation between spouses. The goal is to reach mutually agreeable solutions regarding child custody, property division, and other divorce-related issues.
- Post-judgment issues: Matters arising after a final divorce decree has been issued, such as modifications to child custody or support arrangements due to changes in circumstances, enforcement of existing court agreements, or handling disputes over unresolved financial issues.
- Collaborative divorce: This is an alternative dispute resolution approach in which spouses work cooperatively with their respective lawyers to reach a fair and amicable divorce settlement, focusing on open communication and problem-solving instead of litigation.
- Child custody: Legal decisions regarding the physical care and decision-making authority for minor children after a separation or divorce. This can involve sole custody by one parent, joint custody shared by both parents, or variations depending on the specific circumstances.
- Child support: Financial payments from one parent to the other to help cover the costs of raising a child, including housing, food, clothing, education, and healthcare.
- Property division: The fair and equitable distribution of marital assets and debts accumulated during the marriage. This can include real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement funds, and other valuables.
- Separation: A period of living apart while still legally married. This can be a temporary situation to assess the future of the marriage or a prelude to filing for divorce.
- Alimony: Financial support paid from one spouse to the other after a divorce, intended to help maintain the receiving spouse’s standard of living and adjust to their new financial situation. Different types of alimony may be awarded, such as temporary alimony during the divorce process, rehabilitative alimony for retraining or education, and permanent alimony in some cases.
- Prenuptial/postnuptial agreements: Contracts entered into before (prenuptial) or after (postnuptial) marriage that specify how assets and debts will be divided, spousal support arrangements, and other matters in the event of a divorce.
- Domestic violence: Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or threats of abuse between partners in an intimate relationship. If you are experiencing domestic violence, it’s essential to seek legal counsel and prioritize your safety.
- Domestic partnerships: Legal relationships between unmarried people committed to each other. Domestic partnership rights and recognition vary by state, but Connecticut offers domestic partnership registration with certain legal benefits.
- Adoption: The legal process of assuming parental rights and responsibilities for a child. Different types of adoption can be arranged, such as infant adoption, foster care adoption, and stepparent adoption.
If you are facing any other type of family law issue, we highly recommend that you discuss the details with our Hartford family lawyer. Learn where you stand, your options, and what can be done to reach a favorable resolution.
