Visitation
Who can be granted Parent-time or Visitation Rights?
Those parents who are not awarded physical custody of their children may be entitled to parent-time rights. There are several different parent-time arrangements that can be made, depending on the circumstances of the parties:
Reasonable parent-time - a type of visitation in which reasonable times and places are determined by both parents.
Fixed parent-time - a type of visitation in which the court orders times and places for visitation.
Supervised parent-time - a type of visitation in which an adult supervisor must be present.
Standard parent-time - visitation determined by law as the minimum amount a non-custodial parent should be entitled to.
Minimum schedule for parent-time for children under five years of age.
Minimum schedule for parent-time for children 5 to 18 years of age.
In addition to the non-custodial parent being awarded visitation rights, there has been precedent for grandparents being awarded visitation. This issue is still hotly debated in the legal community.
