Who is a parent in Connecticut? The Connecticut Parentage Act, which came into effect in January 2022, is the most significant update to Connecticut’s parentage laws in decades. It ensures that all children in the state have equal access to the security of a legal parent-child relationship regardless of the circumstances of their birth or the marital status, gender, or sexual orientation of their parents. Learn more about parents in Connecticut from Professor Douglas NeJaime, the CPA’s primary drafter.
Douglas NeJaime, the Anne Urowsky Professor of Law, will be in conversation with Deborah Stanley-McAulay, Associate Vice President for Employee Engagement and Workplace Culture. This is a Belonging at Yale event, introduced by Kimberly Goff-Crews, Secretary and Vice President for University Life.
