A Connecticut Civil Union is not a marriage. It is a legal status, parallel to civil marriage at the state law level, in which the parties to the Civil Union shall have all the same benefits, protections and responsibilities under Connecticut law as are granted to spouses in a marriage.

Much like a marriage, when a couple wishes to end their civil union, they must do so through the court.

Whether you have already decided to dissolve your civil union or are still contemplating your options, it is helpful to learn the basics of the process as this website provides only a glimpse of issues that might arise. Schedule a consultation with Attorney Berman today to discuss all of your options.
