Your district follows where either petitioner lives, not a county line or ZIP code. If you are unsure, call the clerk before filing; nothing on this page is a venue decision for your case.

What you file

The nonadversarial packet is the same statewide: joint petition JD-FM-242 (notarized), an appearance JD-CL-12 and a sworn financial affidavit JD-FM-6 (SHORT or LONG) for each petitioner, the automatic orders JD-FM-260, and JD-FM-243 if you have an agreement. File all originals together, on paper, at the address above. The clerk assigns the docket number — leave it and the COURT USE ONLY block blank. Full sequence and the ten eligibility conditions: Connecticut nonadversarial forms in order.

Fee: $360 (C.G.S. § 52-259; confirmed by a Court Service Center in September 2026), or a fee-waiver application on JD-FM-75. Confirm the amount and accepted payment with this clerk's office.

Before you drive there

Both petitioners have signed where required, before a notary, clerk or commissioner — the petition is not valid with one signature.
Each affidavit is the right version (SHORT vs LONG per the thresholds on the form) and every applicable section is complete.
No "N/A" in court-use or signature boxes; see what to write in empty boxes.
If either of you received state or town financial assistance, the notice and JD-FM-175 certification are done.

Prepare the nonadversarial packet free; pay $129 only when it is ready to download.

FilingFoundry asks each spouse the JD-FM-242 questions separately, screens the ten statutory conditions before you start, transcribes your answers into the current jud.ct.gov forms (petition, two appearances, two financial affidavits, automatic orders, and the agreement if you have one), and keeps every court-use and signature box empty. You still sign before an authorized official, pay the court fee and file on paper at the clerk's office.
