Family Law
- Child Visitation Rights
Child Visitation Rights or ÒSecondary Physical
CustodyÓ can be awarded to the parent without primary physical
custody. This is known as child visitation rights. Visitation
rights allow that parent to be able to spend time with their
child so that they can maintain and develop their relationship
with their children after the marriage has dissolved. Some
parents now use "parenting time" or a similar phrase when
drafting agreements addressing this issue. Schedules for visitation
can either be determined by the court or by agreement of the
parents. Child custody and visitation agreements can be changed
by agreement of both parents or by the Court.
Routine reasons
for changes to child custody or visitation include:
- Moving: States allow parent who has child custody
to move, no matter where they wish to move.
- Change of circumstances: Something that substantially
disrupts the child's life, such as the custodial parent
losing their job, becoming seriously ill or moving.
- Change of lifestyle: Major change to the custodial
parent's situation that may threaten to harm the child or
their welfare.
It is highly recommended to consult with a qualified
family law specialist to translate your needs and desires
into a binding contract that is enforceable. Why trust an
inexperienced attorney with your legal needs?
