How to file for Divorce in Connecticut with children:

File a Divorce Complaint/Cross Complaint with an attached Notice of Automatic Orders form and a Summons Family Actions form in order to file for Divorce and notify your spouse of the Divorce complaint. File an Affidavit Concerning Children and a Case Management Agreement/Order form. These forms are for telling who has custody of any children in the marriage and any other uncontested agreements by both parties in the Divorce. You then have to fill out the Financial Affidavit – Long if you have more than $75,000 in assets or your gross annual income is more than $75,000 or Financial Affidavit – Short if less than $75,000. You then need to fill out a Dissolution Agreement to deal with issues that you and your spouse agree upon. Next, if necessary, fill out the Child Support Guideline Worksheet and the Advisement of Rights forms to deal with issues relating to child support payments and garnishing wages if necessary to pay for child support payments. If you or your spouse or partner is in the military then the Affidavit Concerning Military Service should be filed to protect that individual's rights to not have a court judgment filed without first receiving notice of the lawsuit and a chance to defend the case. The official Divorce decree is made in Court.
