Visitation

It is important for parents to have a connection to their child during their formative years. By making yourself a part of a child’s ongoing life the child is known to grow up to be more confident. Each parent has a responsibility to ensure that the child they bring into this world is given the best possible life the parent can provide. Each parent and sometimes grandparent has a right to visitation so long as that visitation will not harm the child. We help you gain your legal rights so that you can provide your child with the support and benefit of both parents and keeping that relationship intact.

 

Support /Enforcement

Connecticut uses the “best interest of the child” model to determine the support of a child. The actual support amount is generally based on guidelines which take into account each parents income and ability to make payments. Each parent is required to have a job working forty-hours a week. This income makes sure that the child in question is supported. The court of Connecticut take very seriously the support of minor children under the courts jurisdiction. The support enforcement court ensures that the non-custodial parent contributes to the health and welfare of each of their children.

 

 

Children do best when both parents have a stable and meaningful involvement in their children’s lives.

  • • Each parent has different and valuable contributions to make to their children’s

    development.

  • • Children should have structured, routine time as well as unstructured time with

    each parent.

  • • Parents often find that it is better for their young children to spend more time

    with parents and less time with third-party caregivers, taking into consideration

    the number of transitions and the child’s need for stability. When both parents

    work, parents often begin planning their schedule with this in mind. A day-care

    provider or extended family member may be with the children most of the day,

    so parents should make every attempt to choose a mutually acceptable – and

    accessible – day-care provider.

  • • Parents should help their children maintain positive existing relationships,

    routines and activities.

  • • Communication and cooperation between parents are important in arranging

    children’s activities. Consistent rules and values in both households create a

    sense of security for children of any age.

     

    • Parents should allow children to bring personal items back and forth between homes, no

    matter who purchased them.
