Connecticut

Connecticut law establishes that fathers have specific rights in relation to their children. These rights include a determination or paternity, custody and support.

Paternity: If you believe that you are the father of a child, you have the right to request that a paternity test be done. The court will order the test in order to establish or deny your paternity.

Custody: Fathers rights in Connecticut allow you to seek custody of your children. There are several classifications of custody. They include sole physical custody, joint custody, or visitation rights. All of these are types of legal custody and they guarantee you a part in making important decisions regarding how your children are raised and cared for, including issues related to their lifestyle, education and religion.

Support: Child support is an important issue anytime you have sole or joint custody of the child. A financial evaluation by the courts might determine that the childrens mother is required to make child support payments to help provide for their care.

Connecticut fathers rights laws offer solid support to men who want to be actively involved in their kids lives. If you have questions about your legal rights, seek the counsel of an attorney with good experience protecting fathers rights in Connecticut.
