San Diego Visitation Rights Lawyers

In a divorce involving children, one of the fundamental issues that needs to be decided is visitation.

Generally, visitation rights of some sort are granted to the parent who does not possess primary physical custody of the children.

Anyone who is in a custody and visitation dispute should seek the immediate help of experienced San Diego visitation rights lawyers.

Below is a brief overview of California child visitation issues:

Overall Considerations

Generally, California divorce courts promote a situation where your children enjoy frequent and continuous contact with both parents, assuming both parents are deemed competent.  Therefore, unless some circumstances exist that would place the children in some sort of risk, visitation will be granted to the non-custodial parent.

General Visitation Rights

If one parent is awarded primary custody of the children in divorce court, the non-custodial parent will usually be awarded a set visitation schedule with his or her children.

One common parenting plan is for the non-custodial parent to have the children every other weekend, one night during the week, a few weeks during the summer when school is out, on certain holidays, and other special occasions.

Problems that Arise with Visitation

Unfortunately, not all divorced parents are able to co-exist in a civil manner.  There are many situations where the custodial parent will deny visitation to the non-custodial parent because of some sort of disagreement or vendetta. Parents with court ordered visitation rights may need to enforce those visitation rights in court from time to time.

If you have a child visitation and enforcement dispute, you need to seek the help of experienced San Diego visitation rights lawyers as soon as possible to make sure that your time with your children is protected.  Contact The Men's Legal Center today to schedule an initial consultation at (619) 234-3838.
