Handling all types of Family Law Matters

All family law cases in Connecticut are heard in the Superior Court, Family Division court. Family law includes cases that involve:

  • Divorce. Also called dissolution of marriage, a divorce is a case that ends a marriage and decides all matters of custody, child support, alimony and asset and debt division.

  • Modification. Sometimes a divorce order needs to be modified or changed after the divorce is over. We handle your modification cases as well.

  • Child custody. A custody case determines how parents make important decisions with respect to their children as well as how they share their time with their children, either during or in the aftermath of a divorce, or when a married or unmarried couple has separated.

  • Child support.Parents have an obligation to financially support their children, and a child support order can be issued as part of a divorce for a married couple or for unmarried couple who have separated. These cases are determined using the Connecticut Child Support and Arrearage Guidelines.

  • Representing children - Sometimes children need their own lawyer. Our firm can represent children who need to establish a guardianship or conservatorship, or who need a voice in a divorce case.

  • Property division. When a couple divorces, all of their marital property is divided according to Connecticut equitable dissolution law.

  • Alimony. Also called spousal support, alimony is payments from one spouse to the other on an ongoing basis or in a lump sum to provide support or assistance.

  • Taxation. The law concerning taxation of support in dissolution of marriage cases has changed recently and creates a new dynamic in the negotiation of alimony and child support with which our lawyers are knowledgeable and experienced.

Our lawyers provide seasoned representation in these complicated areas, ensuring that your case is handled with care. We focus our family law practice on clients with specialized needs that involve affluence and complicated assets.

When Would A Child Need An Attorney?

When parents are divorcing or separating and there is an issue about custody, attorneys can be appointed to represent children. The court appoints a guardian ad litem or "attorney for the minor child" whose purpose is to represent to the court what is in the best interest of the child, or to offer the wishes of a child who is old enough to have an opinion. Attorneys are sometimes also appointed to represent a child in cases involving modifications of custody. The team of attorneys at Siegel, Colin & Kaufman understands the dynamics involved in representing minors and has years of experience in this area.
