We are happy to help clients battle custody disputes in Eastern Connecticut. Making the ideal arrangements for the care, custody, support, and control of minor children is a priority for the family court and Pamela S. Bacharach. Child custody is a critical aspect of the family law process, but it is also sensitive. The most important issue in the realm of family is the best interest of a child. Every decision made in this process will have a significant impact on your children and your parenting role.
The context of the divorce case, as well as non-dissolution matters (where the parents of the child may never have been married), must be factored into making child custody determinations and parenting time plans. In some cases, child custody determinations can also be made on an emergent basis, such as in connection with domestic violence and restraining orders, or emergency custody applications. In all cases, legal custody (the right to make significant decisions regarding health, education, and welfare of the child), and physical custody (a parenting plan to determine when a child is with each parent), must be determined.

The state of Connecticut utilizes a set of guidelines, and worksheet. Basically, each parent is responsible for the same percentage of child support as the percentage that parent contributes to the family unit’s net financial value. The first step is for each parent to complete a financial affidavit worksheet which can be found on the Connecticut Judicial branch website.
