Anyone who is dealing with a divorce is trying to understand their rights, protect their child(ren), and make sense of parenting and financial questions that feel too large to manage alone.

As a family law firm with significant experience with high net worth divorces and complex child custody cases, Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie LLC brings structure to situations that can otherwise feel unsettled. We keep the focus on long-range objectives rather than short-term conflict.

Connecticut statutes and case law intersect to govern divorces in Connecticut. A family law attorney with experience in sophisticated divorce cases can make invaluable contributions to a client’s divorce case. Those contributions include strategic advice regarding procedure and the steps needed to achieve a client’s goals, insights into potential outcomes of the case, and how the nuances of the law apply to each person’s unique family circumstances
Connecticut is an equitable distribution state and all property, regardless of title, can be considered by a Court. Attorneys who work with complex assets will identify marital property, assess business interests, review deferred compensation, and partner with experts for valuations of assets. They walk clients through the practical impact of various settlement options so that financial decisions are grounded in a realistic picture of the future.
The Connecticut Court considers a range of factors for alimony, including income, earning capacity, age, health, and the length of the marriage. Skilled counsel will present your case in the most advantageous light after considering those factors. They can also discuss how child support, alimony, property division, and tax issues interact so clients understand the full scope of their choices. Common issues divorce attorneys manage include:
These steps help build resolutions that take into account the law and the facts and circumstances of the case.
Divorcing parents understandably place child-related issues above everything else. Courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child(ren), factoring in each parent’s involvement, the child(ren)’s needs, and the ability of the parents to communicate, amongst other factors. Attorneys experienced in these matters can help craft Parenting Plans that reflect the realities of the family dynamics. Connecticut families often find that one of the benefits of an attorney is the ability to anticipate issues that may surface later, and to incorporate solutions to these issues into Parenting Plans.
Our attorneys help clients understand how judges tend to view relocation questions, shared Parenting Plans, and situations involving special needs.
