Visitation Attorney in Manhattan

Visitation Rights

In cases where sole custody is awarded to one parent, visitation rights are usually granted to the other parent.  Both custody and visitation agreements may be reached between the parents themselves before being presented to the court for approval.  This approval is usually given if the proposal can be seen to be in the best interests of the child.  It is possible, however, that the specifics of the custody or visitation arrangements may be altered for the final court orders.  In many cases, the parents are unable to come to an agreement and these issues will be determined solely by the court.

It may also happen that after these orders are issued, one party does not comply with them or with the regulations surrounding visitation rights and responsibility.  If a custodial parent interferes with visitation rights, they may be held in contempt of court.  It is possibly that it may even lead to a loss of their custodial status.  If you are experiencing problems regarding gaining fair visitation rights or if your rights are being violated, a Manhattan divorce lawyer can help.  The law provides processes and recourse for your case to be heard and by which you may seek justice.
