Fathers have equal rights when pursuing child visitation following a divorce. Visitation is generally awarded by the family court system on a flexible basis, which allows the parents to set the time and dates for visitation. Communication between both parents must be strong in order for a flexible visitation schedule to work. In the event that a couple does not believe that they can manage a flexible visitation schedule or if issues arise, they can request a fixed visitation schedule. A fixed visitation schedule notes specific date, time and place for visitation. For example, a schedule may note that the non-custodial parent has visitation rights every Tuesday and Thursday for 4 hours and every other weekend for an overnight visit. If a father is concerned about their legal rights, they can consult an attorney in their area who specializes in divorce and family law. In the event that they cannot afford an attorney or are looking for additional legal advice, they can locate information online through a variety of non-profit organizations which have been organized for fathers.
