What is parent-time?

In Utah, the time each parent can spend with a child according to a court order or parenting plan is called “parent-time.” Even if a parent doesn’t have custody, s/he may still get parent-time, whether it’s unsupervised (“uninterrupted”), supervised, or virtual.1 When other relatives get a court order to spend time with a child, that’s called “visitation.”2
