Area lawmaker appointed to group studying custody disputes

A local lawmaker has been appointed to a Task Force to Study Child Custody Legal Disputes.  Newtown Representative DebraLee Hovey says the group will be studying the role of a guardian and the attorney for a minor child involved in parenting responsibilities.  The group has also be tasked with researching whether the state should dictate that shared custody is in the best interest of a child in cases involving custody.

 

Hovey says she was appointed because of her professional background  She does some custody mediation having both parents in the room and talking.

 

The group will study state statues about custody, costs associated with contested divorces and the fees associated with expert witnesses, attorneys for minor children and others.

 

Hovey says she is in favor of a collaborative relationship between adults.  She says the group will look into custody, visitation, co-parenting, the responsibilities of both parents.
