In Connecticut, mothers have equal rights to custody and visitation of their children as fathers.
Connecticut Mother's Rights Custody:
Legal Custody: Refers to the right and responsibility to make major decisions about the child's life, such as education, healthcare, and religion.
Physical Custody: Refers to where the child primarily lives.
Joint Custody: Can be awarded for both legal and physical custody, meaning both parents share in decision-making and the child spends significant time with both parents.
Connecticut Mother's Rights Visitation:
Even if a mother does not have primary physical custody, she is entitled to reasonable visitation time with her child.
The court will determine a visitation schedule that is in the best interests of the child.
Key Factors Considered by Connecticut Courts:
The best interests of the child: This is the paramount consideration. Factors include:
The child's wishes (depending on their age and maturity)
The emotional and physical needs of the child
The stability and continuity in the child's life
The quality of the relationship between each parent and the child
The ability of each parent to provide for the child's needs
Any history of domestic violence or abuse
