Fairfield County Divorce Records

Divorce records in Fairfield are known as dissolution of marriage records. They are maintained by the Family Division of the Superior Court and document the official end of a marital union.

A complete Fairfield divorce file is composed of various filings:

• Initial filings, such as the petition for dissolution of marriage and the answer
• Disclosure documents, including financial affidavits, discovery requests and responses, and child support worksheets
• In-progress filings, which include motions, custody evaluations, and parental plans
• Resolution documents include settlement agreements, custody/financial orders, judgments, and decrees of dissolution

Essentially, the more complex the case, the larger the paperwork.

Most divorce filings are considered public records under Conn. Prac. Bk. § 25-59A and can be inspected through official online channels or the relevant court clerk’s office. However, subsection (h) of the directive makes financial affidavits in family cases confidential, while subsection (c) empowers the courts to seal any family file if there is a proven reason that overrides the public interest.
