Parenting Time is for the Benefit of the
Children
 Parenting
time, formerly called visitation, is the schedule that
each parent spends with the children. Some parents prefer
to agree generally that one parent will have "reasonable
parenting time," leaving it up to the parents to
decide the schedule. Others prefer to spell out specific
parenting time-which days, which hours-in the Judgment
of Divorce.
Minor children may not be permanently moved
out of state without the court's approval.
- Parenting time orders are modifiable if the parent
demonstrates a change in circumstances.
- The law also allows for compensation for parenting
time that has been wrongfully denied.
- Failure to pay child support is not an acceptable
reason to deny parenting time.
- A parent can be fined or sentenced to a jail term
for wrongfully denying parenting time.
- If parents have joint custody, neither parent may
move more than 100 miles from the child without court
approval.
