Hartford Divorce Lawyer Services
Divorce is rarely simple, but working with a Hartford divorce attorney who knows local laws and court procedures can help you navigate the process more effectively. Family law cases in Hartford are usually heard in the Hartford Superior Court, adhering to Connecticut’s legal standards for matters like custody, property division, and financial support.
Common Divorce Concerns in Hartford
- Asset and Debt Division: Connecticut follows equitable distribution, so assets and debts are divided fairly—though not always equally.
- Child Custody and Visitation: Courts focus on the child’s best interests, reviewing factors such as parental involvement, stability, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs.
- Spousal Support (Alimony): Alimony may be granted depending on the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning potential, and contributions to the household.
Our objective is to help you achieve resolutions that support both your legal and personal well-being. If negotiation or mediation does not settle key issues, we are prepared to represent you in court.
Relocation & Post-Judgment Modifications in Hartford
Life circumstances change, and decisions made during your initial divorce or custody proceedings may need revisiting. A new job, remarriage, or other major developments might require adjustments to child custody, visitation schedules, or support orders.
Relocating with a Child in Connecticut
Parents with primary custody cannot relocate without notifying the other parent and potentially seeking court approval. Hartford courts will assess how the move impacts the child’s welfare, existing custody arrangements, and each parent’s involvement.
How We Help
Our legal team files motions to modify custody or support orders with clear evidence that a change is warranted. Upholding your rights is our focus while placing your child’s best interests at the forefront of every decision
Protecting Your Parental Rights in Hartford, CT
Family law issues are more than statutes and court filings. They involve the well-being of your children and the preservation of valuable family bonds. A Hartford family attorney can make a significant difference if co-parenting becomes contentious or if a custody ruling no longer aligns with your circumstances.
We offer assistance with:
- Negotiating or Enforcing Parenting Time. Both parents deserve a fair opportunity to nurture and maintain their relationship with their child.
- Challenging Unjust Custody Rulings. When existing court orders do not reflect a parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, modifications may be necessary.
- Maintaining a Supportive, Stable Environment. Our strategic legal approach protects your role as a parent and promotes your child’s best interests.

I had to find an attorney and the Happy Even After was highly recommended to me so I made my consultation with Renée. Right away I felt at ease. Renée took some of my worries away and she reassured me this is all normal procedure in getting a divorce. Renée was very professional, respectful, polite and kind... Renée was very thorough and smart when it comes to divorce and child custody especially for fathers’ rights. Everyone in her office was very professional, polite and caring. The paralegal was very helpful. She would get things done ASAP and if you needed something, she would send it through email right away. It was always a pleasure speaking with her on the phone, in person or through email. I also had the pleasure of working with Leslie who prepared my financial affidavit. She was always a pleasure to speak with, very polite, professional and helpful. Leslie would walk me through something I did not understand step-by-step or would find the answer for me. Overall, the whole firm was excellent. I highly recommend Happy Even After to anyone that's going through a divorce..... thanks for the positive experience from Renée and her law firm!!!!- Phil
