Hartford Child Custody Lawyer

Whether you are going through a divorce involving children or are an unmarried parent concerned about your rights, odds are you have concerns and questions regarding child custody. In Connecticut, the courts will focus on what is in the children’s best interests when determining custody, parenting time and visitation arrangements.

When involved in a child custody dispute, the court allows parents to choose a lawyer or guardian ad litem to conduct an investigation and make a recommendation to the court regarding child custody. The evaluation will examine all aspects of your child’s life, including your home and the child’s interactions, school, extracurricular activities and therapy, if applicable. The child custody evaluation is only one part of the court’s consideration for the final custody order, but it is an important part.

At The O’Neil Law Firm, P.C., based in Hartford, we will represent you and protect your interests throughout the child custody evaluation whether a part of your divorce, stepparent adoption or child custody modification.

For help with your child custody issue, contact us today. We return all calls promptly.
