Terms related to Child Custody and Visitation
As our clients proceed through the divorce process, we inform them about their options in child custody and visitation matters. There are many phrases and terms used to describe child custody arrangements. Clients come to us with questions about terms such as: 

• sole custody
• joint custody

• custodial parent
• residential parent
• visitation

We inform our clients about the meanings and the pros and cons of the various legal terms and possible custody and visitation alternatives. If you have questions regarding any of these terms, please contact us to discuss the specifics of your case. Besides custody questions about the amount of time the child or children spends with each parent, visitation agreements, and parenting time schedules need to be determined. Depending on the circumstances, the role of grandparents, or grandparent visitation rights, may be considered as well. Supervised visitation may be necessary when one parent may pose a danger to the child. Our attorneys will assist in implementing these requirements into the parenting plan. If changes are needed to visitation plans after the initial arrangements, our attorneys will draft petitions for child custody modifications.
