Residency Requirements for a Connecticut Dissolution of Marriage

A complaint for dissolution of marriage may be filed at any time after either party has established residence in Connecticut. While there is no residency requirement to file for a divorce in the state, at least one of the following conditions must be met for the final judgment can be entered:

• One of the parties must have been domiciled in Connecticut at the time of the marriage and have returned to the state with the intention of residing there permanently before the complaint was filed.
• The cause for the dissolution of the marriage arose after either party moved into Connecticut.

Any person who is serving in the armed forces or merchant marines who was a resident of Connecticut at the time of their entry is considered to have continuously resided in the state for the purposes of Connecticut's residency requirement. Residents of Greenwich may file for divorce at either the judicial district of Stamford-Norwalk or the judicial district of Fairfield at the option of the plaintiff.
