Connecticut Separation Agreement Template

Updated January 30, 2024

Connecticut separation agreement establishes terms by which married couples, who no longer want to live together as spouses, can divide property, arrange alimony, and other matters without getting a formal divorce.

Couples can have many reasons for pursuing separation rather than divorce, including the possibility that they may later reconcile. Like most states, Connecticut has a procedure for court-recognized separations, but the agreements do not necessarily have to be filed with a court.

Is a Separation Agreement Legal in Connecticut?

Yes, couples can choose to create a separation agreement for the same reasons they can pursue a divorce.[1]
