My jurisdiction is: Connecticut
Recently my daughter (4 yrs. old) has brought up issues that are worrisome to both of us. Yesterday she said she did not want to go with her father, because she is afraid of him. This past weekend, she said that they went to an amusement park (only the two of them) and that daddy left her by herself so he can go on the big people rides that she can't go on. On Friday, I took her to the doctor's office where she told the doctor that she was in pain and that daddy gives her food she's allergic to. She told the doctor that she did not want daddy there because she's afraid of him and she won't talk to the doctor if he's there. When the doctor asked her why daddy doesn't call the office, she replied "daddy says he doesn't have time". I told the doctor that he always denies that she gets sick with him. She says daddy leaves her with strangers when he goes to the men's room or if he does take her with him, he makes her stand outside of the stall. She also mentioned that they share a bedroom and that daddy only goes to bed in his underwear. She says he tells her that if she tells mommy what happens at her visits and that he gives her food she's allergic to, that mommy will put daddy in jail. She's also come home and stated that where we live is not her home, it's Grandma's home. I went to the court house yesterday to file a motion to modify the court order for custody and visitation. Are there any laws in Connecticut that can help us?
