Send Via Email Legal Connecticut Visitation Forms For Free

You can request that a Connecticut court change the order. You will have to go to the court hearing. It is important to note that child support orders are not automatically terminated when a child reaches the age of majority.

Under Connecticut Law, there is no fixed age at which a family court judge must consider a child's preferences with respect to where they live or with whom they live (a.k.a. physical custody). The law simply says that a child must be ?of sufficient age? for their opinions to be considered.

Teenagers, in particular, may object to being told they must spend specific blocks of time with a parent, even in families not dealing with divorce. As a result, we are commonly asked by clients at what age a child can refuse visitation. Under Connecticut law, there is no fixed age.

Under state law in Connecticut both the mother and the father of a child have the legal right to seek custody of the child and/or visitation time with the child. When a child custody case begins both the mother and the father are treated equally and have equal rights.
