How much visitation is the non-custodial parent entitled to receive?
In the majority of cases, the parent with whom the children do not reside is entitled to visitation. This is true regardless of whether it is a sole custody or joint custody situation. The frequency and duration of visitation is determined by what is in the best interests of the children. Normally, the non-residential parent will have visitation every other weekend, one or two evenings during the week from after school through bed time and on alternating holidays. Extended visitation often takes place during the children’s winter, spring and summer breaks from school. Every case is different with the goal being a visitation schedule that best serves your children’s needs.
