Child visitation is usually associated with the
parent of a divorced couple who does not have child
custody. The parent without child custody
often has visitation rights instead.
Child visitation rights are often granted on a
regular schedule of alternating weekends and some
holidays. The parent awarded child custody by
the court has the flexibility to allow more visitation
than the court awards.
In the case of child abuse or child abandonment,
visitation rights are usually not granted to the
parents for the safety of the child. In other
cases, visitation may only be permitted under the
supervision of a social worker.
Young children are overwhelmingly awarded to their
mother's custody but children over the age of 12, may
be allowed, by the court, to decide for themselves
which parent they want to live with.
More fathers in recent times are asking for courts
to award visitation rights of 50% and to give them
more say in determining the welfare of their children.
This is often referred to as 50-50 parenting and is
being supported by some organizations that have been
created to further fathers rights.
