Reasons for divorce in Connecticut

Connecticut recognizes both at fault and no-fault grounds for divorce. A person may file a divorce without an attorney based on no-fault grounds when the marriage is irretrievably broken or if there has been an incompatible and voluntary separation for 18 months with no prospects for reconciliation.


At-fault grounds for divorce in the state include adultery or life imprisonment of one of the spouses. Other reasons may include fraudulent behavior, incurable insanity, cruelty, willful desertion, and non-support. Both at-fault and no-fault divorce grounds can be used for filing an inexpensive divorce using Divorce.com
