Parenting Time

Parenting time, formerly known as visitation, designates when a non-custodial parent will spend time with their child. Parenting time agreements can be difficult to draft because of scheduling constraints and several different ideas among parents and children about how parenting time should work. Custom designed agreements, tailored to your family's particular needs are essential.

We have decades of experience working with families to craft workable and realistic parenting time agreements. We develop fair and flexible agreements that take your desires and your children's best interests into account. Because we work hard to understand your family's specific situation, we are able to design agreements that accommodate schedules, activities, and transportation issues.

Creative and successful parenting time agreements can include terms based on:

• Every Other Weekend
• Alternating Weekends
• Special Holiday Arrangements
• Separate School Year and Summer Schedules
• Supervised Visitation
• Shared Physical Custody

Regardless of the terms you include in your agreements, the key is to forge an agreement that is satisfactory to every member of the family. Each family member's agreement is essential to the success of the plan.

If agreement is not an option, we will aggressively litigate the parenting time issues in family court to seek an order that is in your best interests and the best interests of your children. Although litigation is always an option, we prefer to keep control of the process, rather than having an "agreement" imposed upon you by the court.
