A: That depends on the court orders in effect for your divorce, if there is a divorce. Many divorce agreements take this issue into account. If not, than the father can seek your child's return to Connecticut. You should either contact the attorney who represented you in your divorce, if a marriage and divorce were involved here, to answer this question or retain a Connecticut family law attorney and get this question resolved. You need proper court orders for custody and support to be sure your child's residency is correct and that you receive proper support for her care.
