CT Gen Stat § 46b-10 (2012) What's This?

In any action for dissolution of marriage, legal separation or annulment, at any time before final judgment any judge may require that either or both parties appear before any judge, referee or other disinterested person for the purpose of attempting a reconciliation or adjustment of differences between the parties. Any person designated under the provisions of this section may be a family relations counselor or family relations caseworker and such person shall have all the powers provided in chapter 910. Such person shall report to the court only the fact of whether or not reconciliation can be effected and shall not divulge information given to him by the parties except with the consent of all parties.

(1959, P.A. 531, S. 12; P.A. 83-295, S. 13.)

History: Provisions originally designated as Sec. 51-182l were temporarily renumbered as Sec. 51-339 and ultimately transferred to Sec. 46b-10 in 1979; P.A. 83-295 replaced “divorce” with “dissolution of marriage” and “domestic relations officer or a person skilled in problems of family relations” with “family relations counselor or family relations caseworker”.

See Sec. 46b-53 re conciliation procedures.
