CONNECTICUT: RECENT DIVORCE STATISTICS

 

By: Susan Price, Associate Attorney

You asked for an update of the divorce statistics reported in OLR Report 2001-R-0292. Specifically, you want to know (1) how many divorces were granted in fiscal years 2000-01, 01-02, and 02-03 and (2) how many children were affected.
