About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Connecticut, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Connecticut is a one-spouse complaint state in Superior Court. Cases with living minor children also require official JD-FM-284, the official child-support worksheet, and parenting education unless excused. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Divorce Complaint (Dissolution of Marriage) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
A complaint may be filed after either spouse establishes Connecticut residence. A decree may enter only if one spouse has been a Connecticut resident for the 12 months next preceding filing or the decree; or one spouse was domiciled here at the marriage, moved away, and returned with the intention of remaining permanently before filing; or the cause arose after either spouse moved into Connecticut (C.G.S. § 46b-44). File in the Superior Court for the judicial district where one of you resides. Confirm the district with the clerk.
This packet uses Connecticut’s no-fault ground that the marriage has broken down irretrievably (C.G.S. § 46b-40(c)(1)). One spouse files official JD-FM-159. This packet is not the separate nonadversarial joint-petition path.
The same post-return-date timing applies. Cases with minor children also require official JD-FM-284, the official child-support worksheet, and parenting education within 60 days of the return day unless excused. Income withholding must be ordered in every child-support case. Court schedules vary by judicial district.
No. This packet is built for uncontested cases where both spouses cooperate, usually by signing official JD-FM-172 and filing appearances. If your spouse will contest the case, consult a Connecticut attorney. A contested trial cannot start until at least 90 days after the return date.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Connecticut attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
