What Is Visitation?

Visitation time refers to the time that the non-custodial parent spends with their child or children. Typically, a visitation schedule is established based on the best interests of the child and is dependent upon which parent has physical and legal custody. If you are faced with a dispute or simply need an objective opinion from a knowledgeable lawyer, we can help you with your needs. Our attorneys will look to establish a schedule that fits the needs of your family, and we can also assist in establishing visitation schedules for non-biological custody matters involving grandparents’ and third-party rights.

“From the very first time I met with Kevin, I felt that I had someone on my side that would fight for my daughter, just as hard as I would. Because of this dedication I have been able to raise my child in a safe, secure and stable home. Kevin has your back and is always on your side – for as long as you need.” — Kim

The Best Interests Of The Children: The Standard Used To Determine Custody

The granting of custody will determine which parent will be the primary decision-maker to look out for the general welfare of the child. In some instances, this can be granted as sole or joint custody (meaning both parents have equal opportunity for input). The courts will look at a number of different factors to determine custody, including:

  • Primary caretaker during the marriage
  • Whether or not fault was established in the divorce
  • Parent/child relationships
  • Economic resources of both parties
  • Preferences of the child (depending on age)
