In the State of Connecticut, marital property is divided in accordance with a series of factors set forth by statute. It is important to analyze these factors in each individual case to reach a favorable and fair outcome. Issues such as the existence of trusts, inherited assets, non-divisible assets, and premarital assets may impact the allocation of property in a dissolution action. It is imperative to work with a lawyer who understands the nuisances of your assets and can successfully navigate the complexities of asset division and property distribution.
Not every case belongs in a courtroom. For those families who wish to resolve their divorce or post-judgment matter in a collaborative and private manner, the Law Offices of Amy Calvo MacNamara, LLC offers mediation services, including mediation sessions, the drafting of separation agreements and other necessary documents, and filing guidance.

For self-represented parties or parties going through mediation, we offer select services aimed at assisting parties in navigating these legal avenues.
Alimony, sometimes called “spousal support,” is the payment of funds from one spouse for ongoing support. Child support is the payment of funds from one spouse to another for the support and maintenance of the minor children. While child support is informed by the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines, no such guidelines exists for the computation of alimony. Rather, alimony is based upon a series of factors set forth by statute. It is important to work with an attorney who can educate you on the interplay of these factors with your particular situation.
