Connecticut court forms

These are the official Connecticut Judicial Branch forms for a divorce. Every link below goes straight to the current version on jud.ct.gov — we link to the court's own files (not copies) so you always get the latest official form. They open in a new tab.

We link to the official forms rather than hosting our own copies, so a form here is never out of date. Always use the version on jud.ct.gov, follow the court's instructions, and confirm the current form and procedure with the clerk or a licensed attorney before filing. Footing provides information and self-help tools only — not legal advice.
