The state of Connecticut is made up of various cultural backgrounds,
many of which came from Europe. The largest percentage of Connecticut
is made up of Italian ancestry, closely followed by Irish ancestry.
Other cultures include English, German, Polish, French, Russian,
Scottish, Portuguese, Hungarian, and Lithuanian.
Connecticut state culture includes various countries, who reside in
specific counties. Many of Irish ancestry reside in Tolland county with
many of French Canadian ancestry residing in Windham county.
Despite sometimes severe cultural diversity, Connecticut is governed by
state laws that the federal government does not set specifications on.
Some of these laws include labor laws, divorce laws, driving under the
influence laws, bankruptcy laws, gun laws, expungement laws, felony
convictions, and others.
Bankruptcy
The federal government recently changed all the requirements for who
can file for bankruptcy. New laws were created to limit the continual
abuse of the federal bankruptcy system. Each state, including
Connecticut, was thus required to comply with the changes. Bankruptcy
applications can often be filed on the Internet through bankruptcy
systems.
Because of the federal changes this process can still be lengthy as the
paperwork tripled and became more thorough. Bankruptcy cases in
Connecticut can be as many as one hundred pages or as few as sixty
pages. If a form is not filled out correctly, an application will be
declined, so it is recommended to consult a professional.
Divorce
Each states has different requirement for filing for divorce. However
there is one requirement that is necessary in each state: residency.
Connecticut requires individuals to reside within the state for at
least twelve months before they may file for divorce in the state.
Individuals must also file to their county of residency or the county
of their spouses. This is important because divorce petitions are to be
filed with county circuit courts. If an individual files in the
incorrect county, his or her divorce petition will be dismissed.
Connecticut also states that only one individual in the marriage is
required to be a state resident in order to have a Connecticut divorce.
DUI
Driving under the influence charges in Connecticut are mandated by the
number of prior offenses and the circumstances of the arrest. If
another was injured, if there was a minor in the vehicle, if the
individual had a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit, or if he
or she was driving over the speed limit his or her driving under the
influence charges will be aggravated exponentially.
Minors arrested for driving under the influence will have their
driver's licenses suspended for a minimum of six months. Also if an
individual refuses to take a blood alcohol content test, he or she will
automatically have his or her driver's license suspended.
Holidays
Under Connecticut law employers are not required to allow employees off
for holidays and may require them to work any day of the year. No state
law or federal law makes this a requirement. Employers may however
choose to allow employees off on certain holidays or even pay them more
for working holidays.
I did not report to Welfare that I had a job in the 10 days time period that they demand. I waited for re-certification, which was a couple of month's later.That happened here in Texas. Anyway I was charged with a felony, because of the amount of money that was involved. The attorney general's office told me to turn myself in, and the court-appointed attorney told me to plead guilty. Now I won't be able to get any kind of a job with that charge on my record.The law expects you to be honest so they can turn you into a criminal.

can you get a 2nd degree assault charge which you were found guilty of expunged from your record. I want to join the army and they won't take me cause they say in the army all 2nd degree assault charges are felonies, even though mine was a misdemeandor.
