Parenting time and visitation issues often involve when and where the children will spend their time including, weekdays, weekends, holidays, summers, school breaks, and birthdays. Parenting time is generally granted to the non-custodial parent and is granted in accordance with the best interests of the child. Moreover, it is granted to a parent in frequency, duration and type reasonably calculated to promote a strong relationship between the child and the parent granted parenting time.
Parenting time agreements may state that general visitations are granted, which allows the parents flexibility in deciding the date and time of said visitation. However, in many circumstances, specific visitation hours and dates are written into a court order.
Disputes over parenting time/visitation rights are governed by the Child Custody Act which requires the court to take the best interests of the child into account. In addition, the court may modify or amend its previous parenting time/visitation orders for proper cause shown or by showing a change in circumstances warranting said change.
Since having more days of parenting time can also affect child support payments, child visitation disputes often include this issue. It’s important to get in contact with a Bloomfield Hills parenting time attorney to discuss your particular case.
