What are the grounds for a “fault” divorce?
The fault grounds for divorce include adultery, fraudulent contract, desertion, alcohol or drug addiction, intolerable cruelty, imprisonment, and others. To get divorced, one party must establish one of these grounds. It is uncommon for one party to ask for a divorce on a fault-based ground.
A party does not need to file for divorce on a fault-based ground, however, to argue that the court should consider the other party’s fault. The court may consider the fault of either party when making alimony and property division orders.

How can a divorce lawyer help?Having a divorce lawyer will help to make the divorce process less confusing and overwhelming. A divorce lawyer will be able to advise you on the law and realistic outcomes for settling your case or at trial. In addition, a divorce lawyer will manage the case, including dealing with the other side, and advocating for your positions.
-
Does Connecticut have no-fault divorce?Connecticut has no-fault divorce, meaning that neither party needs to establish that the other is at fault to get divorced. Instead, to get divorced, one party must show that the marriage has irretrievably broken down with no hope of reconciliation. However, no-fault divorce does not mean that the fault of one or both parties is irrelevant. The court may still consider fault when making awards of alimony or dividing property.
-
Who is entitled to custody of the children in a divorce case?The court may assign custody of a child to either parent, jointly to both parents, or in very rare situations, to a third party, depending on the facts of the case and the best interests of the child.
