Laws current as of November 25, 2024 What is visitation and how is it decided?
The non-custodial parent has the right to communicate, visit, and have their child with them. If you and the other parent cannot agree on a visitation schedule, the judge will decide how visitation will work and how often it will take place. If the physical or emotional health of your child is at risk if visitation were allowed, you can ask the judge to limit or suspend visitation.1
