Custody & Visitation

You Don’t Have to Miss Those Special Moments

At the law office of Bruce A. Chamberlain we provide strong advocacy to ensure that fathers’ visitation and child custody rights are taken serious in family court.

Fathers’ rights are also children’s rights and needs.

It begins with fathers having a right to be known to their child, achieved initially through establishment or declaration of paternity.

Fathers have a right to be involved in their children’s lives—children have a right to have their father in their lives.

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.

Many of the men we’ve worked with through the years agree that the mother of their child is a good mother and they are seeking joint legal custody with ample visitation. 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 fight for you in court.

Fathers have a right to be free of interference or diminishing of their relationship—children have a right to love and respect both their parents.

It is injurious to a child when one parent runs the other parent down or when the custodial parent prevents the non-custodial parent 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. Contact our law office to speak to attorney Bruce A. Chamberlain.

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.

Fathers DO have child visitation rights and child custody rights, but it can be an up-hill battle to get gender-fair and equitable treatment. You need an attorney who understands the bond you have with your child, who takes your parenting ability seriously and who will fight to see that you are treated fairly by the courts.
