Child Custody in Connecticut FAQs

What's the difference between legal and physical custody?+
Legal custody covers decision-making, like school and medical choices. Physical custody is about where your child lives. Parents can share both or one.
How does the court decide custody?+
The court looks at many factors: your child's needs, each parent's ability to provide, work schedules, the home environment, and how well parents cooperate.
Can custody be changed after the original order?+
Yes. If something major changes, like work schedules, a move, or your child's needs, you can ask the court to update the custody agreement.
What if we agree on everything?+
If you and your co-parent agree on custody, we can help you put that into a written plan and submit it to the court for approval.
