Parenting Time (Visitation)

Parenting time refers to the amount of time each parent spends with the child and is distinct from the issue of custody. The issue of parenting time often

arises during divorce proceedings or when one of the parties seeks to modify an existing parenting time order. If a client is unable to reach agreement with

their spouse on a parenting plan through negotiation or mediation, the court must determine a parenting time schedule based on the best interests of the

children. In the event of a divorce, the firm can assist clients with establishing an equitable parenting time arrangement that safeguards the client’s objectives

and meets the needs of the children. Similarly, grandparents and other trusted individuals may petition the court to assert visitation rights with a child. The

firm can also pursue modifications of existing orders and protect a client’s parenting time interests under an existing parenting time plan.
