Is This Kit Right for You?
Not every divorce in Connecticut can be done DIY. Check below to see if you qualify for a simple uncontested divorce.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You and your spouse agree the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
- ✓ One of you has lived in Connecticut for at least 12 months before the final decree.
- ✓ You agree on dividing property and debts.
- ✓ You are willing to file a Financial Affidavit (required even if you agree).
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ There is domestic violence or a restraining order.
- ✕ You disagree on custody or alimony.
- ✕ Your spouse is hiding assets or refuses to sign the Agreement.
- ✕ You have lived in CT for less than 12 months (you can file, but can't finalize yet).

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is an uncontested or simple divorce in Connecticut?”
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all issues. In Connecticut, this is often handled "on the papers" (without a trial) if you file a Waiver of Service and an Agreement.
“Does this kit include the official Connecticut court forms?”
Yes. The kit includes the core JD-FM forms required by Connecticut Superior Courts, including the Complaint, Appearance, Financial Affidavit, and Divorce Agreement.
“How long does the process take?”
Connecticut has a standard 90-day waiting period from the "Return Date." However, if you have a full agreement, you may be eligible to file a Motion to Waive the 90-Day Waiting Period to finish sooner.
“What is the 'Return Date'?”
The Return Date is a date set by the court clerk that acts as the official start of the waiting period. It is not a hearing date. Our kit explains exactly how to calculate this date on your paperwork.
