Factors Considered During Visitation Proceedings
In most divorce or custody proceedings, the court attempts to work with both parents and their lawyers to establish fair child custody and a visitation schedule. Typically, whichever parent does not have physical custody will be awarded some type of visitation rights. However, visitation cases are not cut and dry. There are many factors considered by the court, especially if you and the other parent of your children cannot come to a mutual agreement.
A few of the factors which may be considered by the family court judge include:
- The wishes of the child
- Your child's age
- How much time you can spend with the child
- Your physical and mental health
- Any history of domestic violence
