In some situations, a Connecticut divorce can be expedited and completed in just 35 days. On this page, you can learn more about the non-adversarial divorce and how you can get one on this page.
What is a Non-Adversarial Divorce?
Those who are eligible for non-adversarial divorces can get divorced in as little as 35 days. What is more, these couples do not have to go to court and they do not need to have their divorce heard before a judge. The regular Connecticut divorce process can take at least three months, so this form of divorce is much faster. In addition, you don’t have to deal with the hassle of going to court and you will have the opportunity to quickly move on with your life.
You are eligible for the non-adversarial divorce if you and your spouse fit the following criteria:
- Have been married for less than ten years.
- You and your spouse do not have children together and are not pregnant with a child.
- The value of the property owned between you and your spouse is less than $80,000.

- You don’t have a bankruptcy pending.
