Manhattan Child Visitation Attorney

Visitation Rights for Mothers, Fathers and Grandparents

When custody is awarded to one parent, the non-custodial parent will typically seek visitation rights in order to spend time with his or her child. Visitation may be agreed upon by both parents in an out of court agreement achieved through negotiation or mediation, or as the result of a verdict made by a judge in family court. In either situation, visitation is typically arranged on a specific schedule in accordance with the child's best interests.

In any legal matter involving establishing, enforcing or modifying child visitation, it is important to work with an attorney who is experienced in these matters. With a Manhattan child visitation lawyer at your side to protect your interest as a parent, you have the opportunity of achieving the resolution you are hoping for.

A positive outcome to your visitation case may be achieved when an attorney offers you the information and support you need while properly presenting your case to the court in litigation or to the other party in negotiation. Although the court will rule in the best interests of the child in regard to visitation-related issues, you will need to be sure that your case is properly brought forth and that all pertinent information is viewed so the right ruling can be reached.
