FAQ
The older the child, the more influential their views will be. The child has to be at least 13 or 14 for their views to be considered strongly. Ultimately, the court will make a decision as to what is in the child's best interests.
The short answer is that there is often still child support even when parents share custody. This is because Connecticut uses an ?income shares model? for child support, which presumes that a child should receive the same proportion of parental income as he or she would have received if the parents lived together.
Any support order issued remains valid and will likely be enforced by the state the paying parent now resides in. Your legal responsibilities don't change by moving to another state. If you owe money for child support (or are owed money), you are still covered by the existing agreement.
Under Connecticut law, there's no fixed age at which a court must consider a child's wishes regarding custody. Still, courts will generally consider the opinion of children aged 13 or older and disregard the opinions of children who are five or younger.
In law, there is no fixed age that determines when a child can express a preference as to where they want to live. However, legally, a child cannot decide who they want to live with until they are 16 years old. Once a child reaches the age of 16, they are legally allowed to choose which parent to live with.
The right to be supported lies with the child. Neither parent can waive this right on behalf of the child. The payments are calculated based on strict statutory guidelines that consider the income of both parents and the number of children in the family.
Generally speaking, a child who is 12 years of age/in their early teenage years will have more influence in respect to their wishes and feelings than a much younger child. The majority of child arrangement orders are in place until the child turns 16 years old but they can be extended to 17 and 18 years old.
