Child Visitation
Definition:
Visitation is the term used for the right of a parent who does
not have custody of a child to visit their child. A non-custodial spouse typically
has legal child visitation rights
unless the family court denies the rights because it is not in the best interest
of the child. Each state has different child visitation laws, but it is usually
alternating weekends and some holidays.
Consequences of Child Visitation:
It is important to know child visitation laws. For example, failure to pay child support is not a reasonable and lawful reason to stop a non-custodial parent to from visiting his/her child. Child visitation rights can be changed if one parent relocates, there is a substantial change in circumstances or a change in lifestyle that may put the child at harm.What a Lawyer can do for you:
