Trumbull Family Law Attorneys Put Your Child's Interests First
Connecticut Law Firm Experienced in Developing Parenting Plans
Connecticut refers to visitation as parenting time, which is set out by a parenting plan. Parenting plans should be established according to the best interests of minor children, and aim to protect and maintain their relationship with both parents.
Visitation and Parenting Time
Connecticut courts recognize that it is extremely important for a child to maintain a strong relationship with both of his parents. The attorneys at Mark M. Kratter, LLC will defend your parental rights and offer creative solutions for unmarried or divorced noncustodial parents to maximize the quality and length of visits with their children.
Parenting Time and Child Support
The only way that parenting time can affect the amount of child support received or paid is when a Connecticut family court deems that parenting time is substantially in excess of that commonly approved by the court.
Connecticut courts will typically only consider an adjustment to the child support formula if parenting time exceeds what is considered a normal visitation schedule, which usually consists of two overnights on alternate weekends, alternate holidays, two weeks of vacation, and other short visits. Both parents should respect the religious practices of the children as well as their schedules and activities when determining parenting plans.
