Child Custody & Visitation
Visitation is the time a non-custodial parent spends with their child. It is an important aspect of child custody arrangements in California, as it allows the non-custodial parent to maintain a relationship with their child.
In California, visitation takes many forms and can be structured in various ways. You can create visitation arrangements tailored to your personal schedules, your child’s needs, and other factors.
Visitation can also be supervised or unsupervised. Supervised visitation may be appropriate in high-conflict situations or when the non-custodial parent has been estranged from the child. In cases of child abuse or domestic violence, the court may deny visitation altogether.
