Riverdale Parenting Plan Attorney
For the noncustodial parent, obtaining a fair amount of visitation, or parenting time, with his or her child is an important aspect of any divorce proceeding. At the Law Offices of David Bliven, we recognize the challenges that a parent can face when trying to maintain a meaningful relationship with his or her child. Serving clients in Greater White Plains, New York, we can work to help you and your spouse come to an agreement regarding the custody of your child as amicably as possible.
Visitation Guidelines in New York
With exceptions including issues of domestic violence, child abuse or a great physical distance between two parents, the law states that a noncustodial parent will receive every other weekend with his or her child, along with a weekly dinner visit.
In general, New York courts will look at what is in the best interests of the child when determining custody, visitation and parenting plan issues. That being said, the courts also recognize that it is in a child's best interests to maintain stable relationships with both parents.
While visitation and parenting plans are best created through the mutual goals and agreements of the parties involved, it can often be easier said than done. If you and your spouse are facing strong disagreements regarding the custody of your child, it may be time to take legal action.
