Visitation

Create Practical Solutions to Child Disputes

A successful visitation agreement and parenting plan is flexible about scheduling arrangements, and has foresight concerning future changes in your family. In most instances, the court will grant a non-custodial parent visitation rights, absent signs of abuse or neglect. It is difficult to create a plan during a divorce that not only fosters a working relationship between parents, but also defines parental obligations.
