Did you know? Same Sex Marriage

Same sex marriages are treated differently than heterosexual marriages.  The State of Connecticut recognizes these marriages and affords same sex spouses the same privileges as heterosexual spouses when it comes to medical benefits, retirement benefits and taxes.  However, the Federal Government does not apply the same standards as the State of Connecticut.  This difference means that additional paperwork may need to be prepared in order for you to have protections while married.  Also, in the event of divorce, there are many traps and consequences that can occur if you are not careful.

Did you know? TECHNOLOGY & LEGAL RESEARCH

The practice of family law has changed significantly due to changes in technology.  The practitioner that once had to spend hours in the library researching issues can now have multiple information sources at the touch of a button.  Today, most law offices have a web-based legal research program.  Two common programs are provided by Westlaw and LexisNexis.  However, the practitioner can also access cases through the State of Connecticut Judicial Website and the Connecticut Bar Association Website.  Flaherty Legal Group utilizes these search engines to provide its clients with the most up to date case law for every issue impacting family law.  Because of these tools, our attorneys can more quickly and efficiently find effective information.  Our clients benefit from quality research that is more cost effective.
