Supreme Court of Connecticut

Diane Boisvert v. James Gavis

July 2, 2019332 Conn. 115

Summary

The court affirmed the visitation judgment, holding that a fit parent's postjudgment offer of limited visitation did not moot the grandparents' court-ordered visitation or eliminate subject matter jurisdiction. It rejected the claim that the visitation statute or due process required a blanket condition compelling the grandparents to follow every parental directive, while requiring courts to consider good-faith, specific requests concerning fundamental parental decisions. The court declined to review the unpreserved constitutional challenge to the amount of visitation because the record lacked the necessary factual findings.
