camping place in ct image
fritz_316
I am attempting to plan a big campout with a bunch of my friends, but so far every campground I've found either doesn't take reservations or has rules against drinking and also quiet hours.
Does anyone know a place somewhere in CT or RI or even MA that would let me and my peeps just roll in and camp for the night, without a lot of rules to agree with? We just need to drink and to stay up later than 10pm, which is a problem at most places i've found.
also, a lake or some place with cool things to do would be keen.

How do you go about getting Child Support in CT? & Custody question?
Heart
My sons father and I have been separated for over a year, and I have never filed for child support. He's actively in my sons life and I never wanted to burden him with paying as he helps care for our son and although we didn't work out, he is still a great dad. But It's come to the point where it's time to request it. We share custody by choice, not by court order. However, there have been multiple times where he has ended up bailing on the nights he's supposed to spend with our son, which I try not to stress over because I love having my son with me. I'm not crazy or looking to be the Mom who fights for a ridiculous amount of money, I have always been strong willed and made sure I could handle mine and my sons finances without having to rely on anyone else. If anything I'd like to start the child support as a college funding for my son. Anyways, I don't know how to go about getting child support, what is needed, or the actual process of it. If someone could give me some information I'd greatly appreciate it. Is this something I will need to hire a lawyer for? Can it be done outside of court? How does it work? And how does custody work? I'm trying to move on with my life, and have a set schedule in place for our son. So we aren't playing these games of he wants him one night doesn't want him another night and what not. I'm not fearful of ever losing custody, I know it's not possible with our past history together. But, I just want my son to have stability. Is figuring out a schedule a part of filing for custody or is that an entirely different thing? Any feedback would be great, thank you!
Also my sons father wants 50/50 custody rights, how realistic is this? And what do you think the schedule would look like? I want normalcy in my sons life but don't wanna be unrealistic with it either. My sons dad wants every other night, which we've been doing, but eventually I know that it's not going to stay like that, so I don't want my son getting too used to it, and it's disappointing for him on the nights he thinks he's with dad and then he ends up saying he can't take him? Thanks!
We were together for 8 years but not married so not sure if that plays any role either?
Answer
Go to your local family court and ask for instructions on how to proceed with scheduling a hearing to establish a child support, custody and visitation order. You don't need a lawyer and filing fees are fairly minimal. dad can be ordered to pay half. At the hearing they will likely send you into meet with a mediator. Child support will be calculated using a software program called DISSOMASTER that takes dad's income, your income and the percent time the child is with each. If it comes out even then no child support will be ordered but there will be a negotiation to determine how costs for health care, dental, vision, day care, camps, sports , clubs, etc will be shared.
The visitation schedule will be discussed, mediated, brokered and negotiated to death. You will not have to sign the farm away. If you are hesitant about the schedule drawn up it can be temporary, for like 3-6 months. Dad may go in saying he wants 50% but that is based on serving HIS needs, not the best interests of the child. He will have to realize that he would be making his kid "move" every 3 days. That is very stressful and disruptive. By the time he relaxes and gets in the groove of one environment, he has to pick up and transition to the next. Too much for a kid. Throw in school projects, sports, ect and it is a non stop stress filled nightmare to remember "where did I leave my book for the book report?" "where did I leave my baseball uniform?"
Here is a really good schedule for a parent like Dad. Every Monday after school to Tuesday morning drop off at school. Every other weekend. So regardless of his weekend, he will see the kid after school Monday overnight. If Dad is willing to give up every weekend, give him every weekend. try to work in an evening during the week for him to visit for 2-3 hours as it fits into the boy's routine. Like Thursday night you go to library with dad to do homework and out to dinner, home for bedtime. By the time my son was 13, he saw his dad whenever, we just blew off the visitation schedule. My son grew up knowing he could see his Dad whenever he wants. Boys naturally gravitate towards Dad at that age.
Holidays are usually every other year. One year you get Thanksgiving, dad gets xmas. Or if you live in same town you try to work out the holidays as they come each year.
Last, I recommend you have the court order co-parent classes. It will help you and dad develop a co-parenting plan for things I guarantee you have not thought of.
