Frequently Asked Questions

How Does the Court Determine Child Custody and Parenting Plans?

When couples with children go through a divorce or separation, the court will always aim to do what’s best for the child. This includes examining each parent’s income level, the parent’s living situation and stability, the parent’s parenting skills, and each parent’s relationship with the child. The court will also factor in any special needs of the child, including medical costs. If the child is old enough, the court will likely ask them about their preference and let them weigh in on their custody arrangements.

What is Shared Parenting?

Shared parenting, also called joint parenting, is a parenting plan that allows both parents to make joint decisions about their children. In most cases, parents share both physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody is where a child lives, while legal custody involves making decisions about a child’s religion, education, healthcare, and more. Shared parenting is the most common type of parenting plan since it often provides children with the most benefits. When parents have joint physical custody, they often also have joint legal custody; however, this is not always the case.

I Have A Prenup. What Happens Now?

Prenuptial agreements are legal agreements that protect your rights and your partner’s rights before you get married. If you have a prenup, you want to give it to your divorce attorney as soon as possible and mention it in your very first call, as it will be reviewed to determine if it is valid, and if it is valid, it will provide the framework for your divorce.

What is Alimony, and When Can You Get It?

Alimony, also called spousal support, is a series of payments from one spouse to another, usually during or after a divorce. Factors that impact alimony payments include the length of the marriage, the age of the spouses, and the financial burdens of each spouse.

How Long Does it Take to Get Divorced in Connecticut?

Most divorce cases in Connecticut take 6 months, give or take. It is unusual for it to take longer than one year. However, every couple is different, and your timeline could be impacted by the length of your marriage, the amount of property you need to divide, and whether you have children. The best way to speed up the divorce process and start your new chapter in life quickly is by working with a team of experienced family law attorneys. With our lawyers by your side, you can reach resolutions and settle your divorce fast as you look ahead to the future.

My Spouse and I Make a Similar Income. Does That Impact Child Support?

The Connecticut Child Support and Arrearage Guidelines use a mathematical formula to calculate child support payments. This formula uses the net income of both parents plus the number of children to set a child support amount. A judge will also look at your parenting plan as well as other factors to determine whether a deviation from the set formula is warranted. If you and your spouse make roughly the same amount of money per year and you have a shared parenting plan, it’s possible that neither parent will be obligated to pay child support. However, other factors like a child’s age, education level, and medical needs can impact this decision.

How Does a Non-Traditional Work Schedule Impact Child Custody?

When determining child custody, a judge will examine many factors, including the availability of each parent. Working non-traditional hours, including three twelves, mornings, evenings, and overnight shifts, can have an impact on your child custody arrangement. It’s possible that a judge may award a larger percentage of custody to a parent who works more traditional hours since they can spend more time with the child. If you work non-traditional hours and are involved in a child custody case, the best path forward is to work with an attorney. The attorneys at Klein & Babbitt seek to find practical solutions to complex problems and will work with your family to design a parenting plan that works for both parents and children.

Does Connecticut Have a 90-Day Cooling Off Period?

No, although there used to be a 90-day cooling-off period for divorce cases, this no longer is the case in Connecticut.
