In February of 2007, in Rodriguez vs. Rodriguez, FA-05-4015234-S, the Court (Solomon, J.) denied a third party's claim to a child. The Court enunciated the three (3) remedies available to third parties in Connecticut with respect to minor children. First, one may commence a visitation application pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 46b-59. Second, if neglect, abuse or danger can be substantiated, an action may be commenced pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 46b-129 in juvenile court. Third, so long as one can meet the statutory criteria, one may commence an action pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 45a-614 in probate court. For further reading see Troxel vs. Granville 530 U.S. 57 (2000) and in Roth vs. Weston, 259 Conn. 202 (2002).
