Wilfredo wrote, “When will the courts reopen to the public? I had a court date cancelled back in April, and I’ve been impatiently waiting for another date. I have kids I’m trying to see.”
Answer:
Just this week, the Connecticut Judicial Branch announced new virtual services. It said family court will begin hearing matters via remote videoconference that are expected to require no more than one hour of court time, including final agreements and uncontested dissolutions of marriage (divorces). That’s just one of the remote services being offered. For more information: https://jud.ct.gov/HomePDFs/RemoteExpansion61720.pdf Some courthouses are open or will open in the coming days.
