Divorce

Resolving Your Connecticut Divorce

With compassion and experience, I will get you through your divorce. I have a knack for protecting client interests while producing workable out-of-court agreements that keep legal fees to a minimum.

The Law Offices of Doris B. D'Ambrosio of West Hartford represents men or women in Hartford County and surrounding counties of Northern Connecticut. I am a solo practicing lawyer with 23 years of experience in handling divorce and family law. Call me at (860) 232-5515 for a free initial consultation.

A Divorce Attorney With Your Best Interests at Heart

A court battle is expensive and hard on the children. If you are like most of my clients — middle-class people with kids and few liquid assets besides the family residence — litigation doesn't make sense. There isn't enough money to go around as you create two new households out of one. I am sensitive to the emotions of divorce, and I walk clients through the difficult decisions required to arrive at out-of-court agreements on property, financial support and child custody.

I have an extensive understanding of the laws, the courts and how individual judges are likely to rule. I also sit as a Special Master, serving in a divorce mediator role in courts in Hartford and New Britain. As your legal counsel or as a neutral, I can help craft a fair and reasonable property division plan addressing:

  • House value and whether to stay in it or sell
  • QDRO retirement funds (pension plan, 401(k), IRA)
  • Valuation of a business or professional practice
  • Inheritance (now often considered a marital asset)
  • Division of credit cards and other debts

Alimony in Connecticut Divorce

In marriages of 20 or more years, alimony is routinely awarded. In marriages of shorter duration, support may last for half the length of the marriage, but the wife must show an income disparity and a need. I have helped many men avoid or minimize alimony payments.

I offer both the tough negotiating power and the spirit of compromise to help you reach an agreement and move on with your life. Arrange a free consultation at (860) 232-5515. I offer flexible appointments, and I accept credit cards.
