Establishing Child Visitation in Maryland
Visitation defines the parameters and scheduling of non-custodial parent’s visitation rights.It includes terms of visitation or types of visitation. Types include flexible visitation, reasonable visitation as determined by the custodial parent, structured visitation that includes holidays, weekends, vacations, and supervised visitation.Factors that can impact child visitation include the availability of appropriate accommodations for the child in the non-custodial parents home, the work and travel schedule of the non-custodial parent, criminal activity are only a few.
Child Relocation
In the event that a custodial parent has received permission from the Court to relocate, visitation can be impacted by that. In those circumstances, the non-custodial parent will usually have the children for some of summer vacation, and a portion of most school breaks. This to some extent mitigates the change in local and frequent visitation.
Establishing a Parenting Plan Through Family Court
Family Court, Child Protective Services and Family Services offer a variety of tools and services that can help you establish a coordinated parenting plan. You want to make certain that visitation is determined by an enforceable order, and this is usually done during the divorce process.
