CHILD VISITATIONS

Child visitation is without a doubt one of the most emotional sides to a family break-up. Even though you and your spouse may not be able to get along, the two of you must still work together and be cordial for the benefit of your child or children.

If you and your spouse have children together, then you must realize your spouse or ex-spouse will still be "in your life" to some degree even after a divorce or dissolution of the relationship.

Normally when one parent has physical custody of the child(ren), the other parent receives some type visitation rights. The "visiting parent" is responsible for the "pick-up and drop-off" of the child(ren). When the "visiting parent" has the child(ren) in his /her custody during their visitation periods they are "exercising their visitation rights".

Child Visitation agreements vary widely and can be designed to fit the parents' and child(ren)'s life schedules.

It is better for the parents to design a visitation schedule than have the courts design one for you. Because, your child(ren) and your former spouse or partner will be "in your life" at least until the child(ren) turns 19 years old, it is very important to have an competent attorney set down with you and design a sound visitation schedule or vigorously fight for your interests in court.
