Child Custody

Lawyer in Glastonbury, Connecticut: Child Custody Disputes

Over 25 Years of Experience

If you are involved in a divorce proceeding and have minor children, you may have many unanswered questions about child custody and visitation. How will the court determine where the child lives? If you don't have physical custody, how often will you be able to see your child? Will your voice be heard when major decisions are made regarding medical care and education?

At the office of attorney Sharon M. Friel, we understand the uncertainty that comes with divorce. We have worked closely with men and women throughout Hartford County and the surrounding area for over 25 years, focusing our practice on issues related to divorce and family law. We understand that divorce is between husbands and wives, not parents and children. We are committed to helping you preserve and protect the relationship you have with your child.
