According to Connecticut laws, you and the other parent should consider the following factors when making decisions regarding the development of your parenting plan:
1. The best Interests of the children.
2. The parent's wishes.
3. The children's wishes.
4. The social and economic welfare of the children.
5. The possibility of a joint or shared custody arrangement.
6. The amount of time each parent spends with the children.
The Connecticut courts realize you and the other parent know your own situation better than anyone else, which is why this is your opportunity to create a parenting plan that will maintain a family structure that is in the best interests of your child(ren).
