San Bernardino Visitation Rights Attorney

Understanding Child Custody and Visitation

The Law Office of Michael R. Young is dedicated to providing compassionate and skilled legal representation to families who are going through a divorce. The divorce process is not only a difficult time for the couple involved, but for the children as well. Under California law, visitation is the legal plan where the parents stipulate who they will share time with their children. Either parent can have legal custody of the children or both parents can share custody. The presiding judge will have the final say in who will have custody, but will usually uphold the parenting plan that both parents agree with.

By definition, if you have less than half of the time with your children, you have visitation rights. It is beneficial to both the children and the parents to have a detailed plan for visiting. This will help avoid conflicts and confusion regarding schedules. Sometimes supervised visitation is required by the court. Another adult may have to be present in order to protect the safety and well-being of the child or children. In extreme cases, no visitation rights may be allowed by the court. If any contact with the child proves to be emotionally or physically harmful, it may be in the best interest of the child to never see the parent.
