Child visitation is directly related to child custody. Problems with visitation are just part of the challenge of divorced parents. It, often pursuant to a parenting plan, can take a variety of forms or schedules. The court can also impose conditions on continuing child visitation rights, such as requiring a substance impaired spouse to undergo alcohol or drug addiction treatment. If the custodial spouse engages in misconduct, such as delaying or hindering visits by the other spouse, the non-custodial spouse can seek an order from the court compelling the custodial spouse to comply with the child visitation order and to pay penalties, costs and attorneys fees. If you are the custodial parent and your spouse poses a threat of harm to your children, is abusive to them, or acts irresponsibly, you can petition the court to limit your spouse’s child visitation rights, to require a third-party to supervise all visits, or in extreme cases, to deny all child visitation rights. A child visitation schedule will enable the parents to know week by week what days and times are designated for visitation by each parent.
