Divorce Law
Connecticut has no-fault grounds of the marriage being irretrievably broken or the parties having lived apart by reason of incompatibility for a continuous period of at least eighteen months immediately prior to service of the complaint with there being no reasonable prospect that the parties will reconcile. There are also fault grounds that the parties may file under. [Gen. Statutes of Connecticut Chapter 815j, Section 46b-40]Residency - A decree dissolving a marriage or granting a legal separation may be entered if: (1) One of the parties to the marriage has been a resident of this state for at least the twelve months next preceding the date of the filing of the complaint or next preceding the date of the decree; or (2) one of the parties was domiciled in this state at the time of the marriage and returned to this state with the intention of permanently remaining before the filing of the complaint; or (3) the cause for the dissolution of the marriage arose after either party moved into this state. [Gen. Statutes of Connecticut Chapter 815j, Section 46b-44]
