Is collaborative divorce formally recognized under Connecticut law?

Yes, and this is recent. Connecticut adopted the Uniform Collaborative Law Act, which took effect on October 1, 2025 as Public Act 25-153, making Connecticut the 27th state to enact this framework. Before that date, collaborative practice operated in Connecticut by private agreement among attorneys and clients; the Act now provides a formal, standardized statutory structure for how the collaborative process works. This gives Connecticut collaborative divorce a defined legal footing, which is a meaningful development for anyone considering the process in the state.
