- DivorceAs a Manchester firm, we help families and individuals in Tolland County, Middlesex County, Hartford County, and throughout Connecticut with comprehensive family law services ranging from adoptions to domestic violence crimes to post-divorce modifications. Our divorce-related services include...
- Child SupportChild support: Whether you were ever married to the other parents of your child or not, child support is an important aspect of ensuring your child has what he or she needs to thrive. Connecticut has mandatory child support guidelines, so our attorneys can assist you in calculating the amount of child support your child should be receiving. Moreover, if you are to be receiving child support benefits on behalf of your child, but your child’s other parent fails to make the child support payments, our attorneys can assist you in obtaining the amounts owed to your child, through a wage garnishment or some other means. On the other hand, if you are the parent responsible for making child support payments, and your circumstances have changed, like the loss of a job or some other major life event, our attorneys can assist you in obtaining a modification of the child support order.
- Child Custody and VisitationFamily law covers a broad spectrum of issues. Some of these, as with adoptions, relate to happy circumstances, but many of them are related to divorce or child custody or support matters. These situations often require that difficult choices be made, even as life is at its most confusing.
- Adoption
- PaternityPaternity testing / paternity rights: Whether you believe you are the father of a child and you are seeking parenting access, or whether you are a mother seeking to establish the father of your child, our experienced family attorneys can assist you in pursuing a paternity action, if necessary. When paternity is not disputed, it can be established by way of an acknowledgment of paternity. Otherwise, a DNA test can be sought. Once paternity is established, our attorneys will work with you to develop a parenting plan which would dictate custody and visitation, as well as child support, just as we would in any divorce action.
- Spousal SupportSpousal support / alimony: Another important aspect of a divorce settlement is the payment of spousal support or alimony. Our laws do not require the payment of alimony by one spouse to the other; whether alimony is appropriate will depend on the individual circumstances of your case. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement regarding the payment of spousal support, a court may consider the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of both spouses, and the division of other assets and debts in the divorce decree, amongst other considerations.
