Connecticut has two child-custodial arrangements: legal custody and residential custody. Legal custody can either be sole or joint. Sole legal custody is an arrangement where one parent unilaterally has the authority to make all major decisions regarding a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is an arrangement where both parents participate in the major decisions regarding the upbringing of their child. Residential custody can either be shared by the parents or be primarily with one parent. Custody arrangements can be modified post-divorce by the Court, based upon what is in the “best interest” of the child.
