Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
visitation in prison
Would a court order me to bring my daughter, who is 18 months old to jail for visitation with her father, who's probably going to be there for the next 10 years?

Re: visitation in prison
I will add, that if I were you, and you have concerns about the effect visitation in prison will have on your child, that you should request that a guardian ad litem be appointed to represent your child's best interests. An independent attorney will be appointed to review the situation and make a recommendation to the court on whether visitation is in your child's best interest.
Re: visitation in prison
A court could order visitation, but it depends on a number of factors, such as age, the reason the father is in jail and what has he done there to show that visitation would not affect the child in a negative manner. There are many factors that the Judge must consider, however, it basically comes down to what is in the best interest of the child. Tom Noonan
