Child Visitation by Non-Custodial Parents
If you are the non-custodial parent, you still have the right to participate in the parenting of your child in most cases. Visitation can be arranged independently by the parents, with the assistance of a mediator, or by court order. Grandparents and other family members may also have a right to maintain a relationship with the child. Divorce does not have to affect the continuity of the relationship with the child that you love and care for. Let us help.
