problems and an increase in social competencies critical to children's postdissolution
adjustment.

represent the Commission on Children, the family law section of the Connecticut Bar
Association, educators specializing in children studies, agencies representing victims
of family violence, service providers and the Judicial Department. The members shall
serve for terms of two years and may be reappointed for succeeding terms. The members
shall elect a chairperson from among their number and shall receive no compensation
for their services.
(d) The Court Support Services Division of the Judicial Department shall provide
staff services to the advisory committee.
