Child Visitation Rights | DivorceLawFirms.com

A court can determine child visitation rights. However, even if child visitation rights are granted, there are still many different court visitation types. Not receiving your legal visitation rights? Don't be deceived! Any parent who is not entitled to child custody on a normal basis is still capable of receiving visitation rights. Based on the court judges discretion, these visitation rights may vary.

Child Visitation Types

Every other weekend
One week night
Half of winter and spring break holidays
Alternating every other major holiday
Split Summer vacation from two to six

Holidays may be allocated differently based on the length of space which divides the two parents. An example is the assignment at the other parent’s home, during the full summer vacation for a child that spends the full school year at the other parent’s home. The parent who is given this major holiday is usually considered the non-custodial parent.

A court has the legal right to deny or restrict visitation, if child possession is considered endangerment to the child or children. This is applied in cases where the parent has molested, kidnapped, or used excessive drugs and alcohol while being responsible for the child. If restriction on visitation has been implemented due to the above reasons or any other reasons which parallel these, visitation under supervision may be allowed.
