After you and your spouse have gotten divorced or when two unmarried parents share custody, both parents must maintain a good relationship with the child. Unless there are special circumstances involved, most courts and judges will do whatever they can to keep both parents in the child’s life.

At Netsquire, we represent mothers and fathers in divorce and custody cases. Our New Jersey visitation lawyers strive to help you maintain a healthy relationship with your child, even as your relationship with the other parent changes.

Call us today to get started on your case.

Understanding Visitation Rights in New Jersey

In New Jersey family law, the concept of visitation rights plays a pivotal role, particularly in cases involving child custody. When parents go through the complex separation or divorce process, questions about child custody and visitation naturally arise. New Jersey’s legal framework recognizes the significance of maintaining a healthy relationship between a child and both parents. This recognition is deeply rooted in the child’s best interests, which is the guiding principle in custody decisions.

A New Jersey child custody lawyer well-versed in family law can be an invaluable asset during these times. Such an attorney helps parents navigate the complexities of the legal system, aiding them in understanding their rights and responsibilities as parents. Whether seeking joint custody, sole custody, or visitation rights, having a professional who can advocate for your desired outcome is crucial while keeping the child’s welfare at the forefront.

By working closely with an experienced child custody attorney, parents can establish a visitation schedule that reflects their commitment to their child’s well-being. This schedule defines the parameters of parenting time, addressing factors like weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. The court ultimately evaluates the proposed arrangement to ensure it aligns with the child’s best interests.

When parents cannot agree, the court steps in to make decisions based on available evidence and arguments presented by legal representatives. The judge’s role is to determine a visitation schedule that promotes a child’s continued relationship with both parents while ensuring their safety and security. Issues such as substance abuse, medical concerns, and the child’s preferences might influence the final decision.
