Hartford Property Division Lawyer
Fighting for Your Financial Interests in Connecticut Divorce
Property division is the legal process through which a court distributes marital assets and liabilities between spouses during a divorce. This is a critical aspect of divorce proceedings in Connecticut, ensuring an equitable property distribution to both parties.
This issue is critical to many spouses, especially those with disparate incomes and financial resources, businesses, professional practices, retirement accounts, and high net worth and substantial assets.
Reaching a fair division of marital assets and debts can be complex. It may require the help of financial experts such as forensic accountants and tax consultants. Because it can dramatically impact your financial security post-divorce, putting an experienced divorce lawyer on your side is essential.
At Hardy Law Group, you can turn to a firm with over a decade of professional experience resolving divorces for clients across the state. We offer competent advice, guidance, and representation in negotiation, mediation, and litigation.

Division of Property & Debt in Connecticut
Property or assets that are subject to division in a Connecticut divorce can include:
- Real estate: Homes, rental properties, land, and other real property.
- Personal belongings: Vehicles, jewelry, furniture, boats, antiques, art, collectibles, planes, and other tangible items.
- Financial accounts: Bank accounts, investment portfolios, stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and retirement accounts.
- Business interests: Ownership stakes in businesses or professional practices.
- Debt: Mortgages, loans, credit card debt, and other liabilities.
These are subject to “equitable” division between the spouses. This refers to fair but not necessarily equal distribution. Judges consider various factors to determine how the property and debt will be divided.
Marital vs. Separate Property
Only marital property can be divided in a divorce. These are assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title or account. This includes income, real estate, and investments accumulated after the wedding.
Separate property is assets and debts that one spouse acquires before the marriage or through inheritance or gifts explicitly made to them during the marriage. It is generally not subject to division, though it can sometimes be commingled with marital property, complicating the division process.
