Child Custody

How does Child Visitation in California usually work out?

In a California divorce, visitation rights will typically depend upon the child custody arrangement. When parents have joint physical custody, visitation is not an issue as the child or children will live with both parents. When one parent has sole custody, however, the non-custodial parent will usually have visitation rights, unless there is perhaps a restraining order or no visitation is granted for specific reasons. There is no set rule with respect to visitation. Often the parents through their skilled attorney/s can agree to the terms of child visitation. Then, a Stipulation is prepared and signed by all parties. Should the parents be unable to agree to a proposed visitation schedule, they proceed to court where a visitation order is made.
