Connecticut Divorce Forms & Papers
Either spouse may file a dissolution of marriage if they are a resident. But the dissolution of
marriage will only finalize after one spouse has been a resident for one year; unless one of the
spouses was a resident of Connecticut at the time of the marriage and returned with the
intention of permanent residence; or if the grounds for the dissolution of marriage arose in
Connecticut. If the matter involves support, the dissolution of marriage is to be filed in the
county in which the plaintiff resides. In all other cases, the dissolution of marriage may be
filed in any county which is most convenient to both spouses. [Connecticut Statutes
Annotated; Title 31, Chapter 348; Title 46b, Chapter 44; and Title 51, Chapter 349].
For more information on filing divorce see our page on how to file for divorce.
The following are legal no-fault grounds for dissolution of marriage: 1) Irretrievable
breakdown of the marriage; 2) incompatibility and voluntary separation for 18 months with
no reasonable prospect for reconciliation. [Connecticut General Statutes Annotated; Title
46b, Chapter 40].
