Connecticut Child Custody and Visitation Attorney

You Don't Have to Miss Those Special Moments

Perhaps the most critical concern all parents face in a divorce involves who gets the kids, when, and visitation rights. At the law office of Bruce A. Chamberlain we provide strong advocacy to ensure that our client's visitation and child custody rights are taken serious in family court or mediation.

Parents' rights are also children's rights and needs.

• Parents have a right to be involved in their children's lives-children have a right to have both parents in their lives.
• Determining custody and visitation begins with fathers having a right to be known to their child, achieved initially through establishment or declaration of paternity.

Whether you're seeking reasonable visitation or are interested in winning child custody in divorce court, divorce lawyer Bruce A. Chamberlain will work with you to build the case, documenting your involvement in your child's life, your parenting abilities, and the suitability of your home environment.

Considering What is Best for the Entire Family

Many of the clients we've worked with through the years agree that the each parent of their child is a good parent and they seek joint legal custody with ample visitation. Even when mothers gain custody, most fathers want MORE visitation than they are getting. The younger the child is, the harder it will be to gain a great deal of visitation time, but we're prepared to protect your right in court.

Both spouses have a right to be free of interference or diminishing of their parent/child relationship-children have a right to love and respect both their parents.

It is injurious to a child when one parent puts the other parent down or when the custodial parent prevents the non-custodial parent from seeing the child and exercising their child visitation rights. This is a matter that should go back to court, for a modification of the child custody order or other remedy.speak to attorney Bruce A. Chamberlain, he knows the toll divorce can take on families.

Addressing Relocation Concerns

Moving away-it's more and more common for divorced spouses to face a difficult parenting decision when one spouse finds a job or gets married again and wants to move to another state. Relocation cases can be won by the non-custodial parent in Connecticut if we can prove that you have as strong a relationship bond with your child as the custodial parent and that moving away would adversely impact the child. We've had success in securing judgments to prevent the mother from leaving with the child.

Both parents DO have child visitation rights and child custody rights, but it can be an up-hill battle to get gender-neutral and equitable treatment. You need an attorney who understands the bond each of you have with your child, one who takes your parenting ability seriously and who will fight to see that you are treated fairly by the courts, or during the alternative mediation process with your spouse.
