The Divorce Process in Stamford, CT
The divorce process in Stamford begins with filing a petition at Stamford Superior Court, located conveniently on Hoyt Street. Connecticut's laws allow for both "no-fault" dissolutions—where the marriage is considered irretrievably broken—and fault-based divorces, which involve specific circumstances such as willful desertion or adultery.
Once the petition is filed, each party is required to submit detailed financial affidavits, which are essential in determining areas like spousal support and division of assets. Our divorce attorneys in Stamford help ensure every form is accurately completed and submitted on time, which is critical to keeping your case on track and avoiding unnecessary delays caused by incomplete documents or miscommunications with the court.
Stamford courts typically require parenting education for parties with minor children and may encourage or require mediation sessions to promote settlement and avoid trial. At Ferro, Battey & Eucalitto, LLC, we walk you through every Stamford-specific court requirement to help you understand your obligations at each stage.
Our attorneys leverage years of working relationships within the Fairfield County legal community, using their skill and recognized professionalism to guide cases efficiently—whether your divorce involves complex property division, child custody, or unique family circumstances. We empower you with clear information so you know what to expect regarding timelines, hearings, and mediation protocols within Stamford’s local court system.

Have Questions?
-
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.
-
How are child support obligations determined?In Connecticut, when determining child support, the court is required to consider the Connecticut Child Support and Arrearage Guidelines. The Guidelines set forth a presumptive child support award for each case based upon the parties’ combined net weekly incomes and the number of children the parties have. In addition, the court may consider a number of other factors, including, but not limited to, the estate and needs of the child, vocational skills and employability of each parent, and each parent’s earning capacity. The court may also deviate from the presumptive child support for different reasons, which can include shared physical custody, coordination of total family support, or extraordinary disparity in parental income.

What is alimony?Alimony is a court-ordered payment from one party to another. There are several factors that come into play when determining if one party should be granted alimony including, but not limited to, the length of the marriage, the amount and sources of income, and the causes for the breakdown of the marriage. Connecticut does not have alimony guidelines, which means that the decision to award alimony, including the duration and the amount, is entirely in the judge’s discretion.
