Noncustodial Parents Have Visitation Rights
Get Help From the Divorce and Family Law Offices of Daniel J. Szostkiewicz
Developing and protecting the bond with one's children is often one of the greatest challenges that divorced and unmarried noncustodial parents face. Whether you are divorced or unmarried, you have the right to spend time with your child. This legal right is formalized via a visitation agreement or order.
Divorcing spouses usually establish visitation plans, sometimes called parenting time plans, as part of the divorce process in Massachusetts. If the parents cannot agree on a reasonable visitation schedule, then a family court judge will create a visitation order. Unmarried noncustodial parents also have the right to establish a formal visitation plan. This can happen by agreement with the other parent or by court order if the custodial parent refuses to allow visitation.
Custodial parents may also have serious concerns about visitation plans. This is especially true in situations where the custodial parent has evidence that the child may be at risk of abuse or neglect — either by the noncustodial parent or by people the noncustodial parent associates with.
