Supervised Visitation

Certain cases may warrant supervised visitation for a short or extended period of time. However, there are ways that a parent can work toward unsupervised visits in the future. A visitation lawyer at our firm can help you understand how to deal with supervised visitation and emphasize the importance to the child of seeing his or her other parent, even if their parent is angry about the supervised nature of the visit.

The visitation may be supervised if it is shown to the court that a parent has been abusive, has problems with drugs or alcohol, or has a new spouse or partner with one of these types of problems.

Modification of Visitation

If a visitation schedule or visitation rights need to be changed, it is important that the courts be involved in the changes to the visitation order. If you do not go through the courts to seek the modification, the new visitation arrangement may not be enforceable. We provide representation to clients on either side of a modification -- either seeking more time with your child or children or attempting to prevent more time from being ordered.

Enforcement of Visitation

Most cases of enforcement involve a custodial parent refusing to let the visitation take place. If this is happening to you, we can help. When there is a court order for visitation, all parties must abide by this order. The custodial parent can be compelled to produce the child and the time for the visitation to occur. If they do not, they can face serious legal consequences and the altering of the standing custody order.
