Custody and Visitation

Connecticut and New York Custody and Visitation Lawyers

The determination of custody and visitation rights regarding minor children is a central part of the divorce process. When determining custodial and visitation rights and arrangements, your child's well-being, your ability to contribute to your child's upbringing and your presence during much of your child's youth are at stake.

In addition, custodial parents usually have the right to make important decisions regarding their child's education, religious upbringing and medical care. At the Law Offices of Heidi E. Opinsky, we understand that child custody and visitation rights are the single most important factor to many clients when divorcing.

Helping Parents Achieve Their Custody and Visitation Goals.

We have handled divorces and divorce-related matters for hundreds of Connecticut and New York residents, including complex custody and visitation situations. Lead attorney Heidi E. Opinsky has practiced family law, visitation law and child custody law for 22 years and is skilled at working to achieve your custody and visitation goals.

Many factors influence an award of custody and visitation, including familiarity with children's likes and dislikes, and familiarity with children's schedules, doctors, teachers and day care. The way a case is presented in court can also have a large impact on the court order for custody and visitation.

We can work with you to prepare for your child custody evaluation process and hearings to improve your chances for your desired outcome. We are also experienced in handling custody modifications. If your child custody or visitation arrangement no longer works for you or your child, we can work to have it modified to better suit current schedules, locations, and other changing circumstances and needs.
