Connecticut Custody Lawyer
If your divorce involves a dispute over protective child custody, you may find the matter referred to a family relations conference. In a family relations conference, court officers with specialized training in custody and parenting issues will facilitate and mediate custody matters, in an attempt to resolve the dispute without putting the children through an emotional, costly court battle. The family relations conference performs two broad functions. First, to bring everyone together to mediate a possible resolution. If mediation fails, the family relations officer takes it to a higher level. School officials, counselors and other individuals familiar with the family will provide input, so the officer can make a knowledgeable recommendation in the best interest of the child.
