Reach an Agreement and Get Divorced Right Away

Until October 2015, even if you and your spouse agreed on all the issues of your divorce, one of you still had to serve divorce papers on the other one and you could not get divorced until a mandatory waiting period of 90 days had gone by. Now, as soon as you reach an agreement, you can get divorced right away. This is true even if you have children, own real estate, and have a lot of assets to divide.

And couples married less than 9 years with no minor children, no real estate and less than $80,000 in combined assets may be able to divorce quickly without going to court.

No one should rush into a divorce agreement, especially if minor children, real estate, pensions and significant assets are involved. Divorced couples must live with the consequences of the terms of their divorce judgment for the rest of their lives. However, many couples know how they want to handle the arrangements for custody and visitation of their children and how they want to divide their property, and Connecticut divorce law now permits them to divorce quickly.

It is important to consult with a lawyer before entering into a divorce to understand the ramifications of a divorce agreement and to make sure the agreement is as comprehensive as possible to cover all the issues that may arise for couples and their families when there is a divorce. Once reasonable divorce terms are agreed upon and understood, however, there is no sense in being forced to wait before entering into a divorce judgment to finalize the arrangements.

We can provide traditional individual representation whereby we represent just one of you while your spouse either hires his or her own lawyer or represents himself or herself. Or we can meet with the two of you and provide mediation services to help you both reach an agreement and understand its terms. If your marriage no longer works, let us help you expeditiously embark on a new beginning of your life.
