Child Custody in Connecticut

As a parent, you want what is best for your child or children. Whether the child is best off in your care or that of their other parent, all parents and children have rights. We will work to protect the rights of our clients no matter how difficult a custody situation becomes. We believe a child's best interests are served if they can have healthy relationships with both parents. We take pride in representing parents who want to maintain such a relationship, whether that means custody, visitation, or child support.

Physical & Legal Child Custody
There are two forms of custody in Connecticut. Physical custody refers to the child's physical residence, which can be with a single parent or split between both. Legal custody refers to the parents' rights in decision-making regarding such issues as their child's health or education. In many custody cases, a guardian ad litem is appointed to investigate each party's claims and make recommendations as to what is best for the child.
