What's Happening in Connecticut
Connecticut Healthcare Laws
State healthcare laws relating to the LGBT community in the areas of medical decision making and hospital visitation.
Connecticut Custody and Visitation Law
There have been no cases dealing with custody and visitation for lesbian, gay or bisexual parents. Courts have used a parent’s gender identity or expression to deny, restrict or modify custody and visitation. Courts will allow a former same-sex partner (with no legal or biological relationship to the children) to petition for visitation.
Connecticut Surrogacy Law
Surrogacy law in Connecticut is uncertain, but favorable. The statutes are silent with regard to surrogacy agreements, but various cases have looked favorably on such agreements, including a case concerning a same-sex couple.
