Visitation laws in Missouri govern the access and time that a non-custodial parent gets to spend with his or her child. Visitation laws go hand-in-hand with parenting schedules as a divorced couple schedules the time the parent without physical custody gets to spend with the child.
There may be cases in which grandparents seek visitation rights for their grandchildren. Missouri family law provides for grandparent visitation rights granted by the court in narrow circumstances.
No. A parent's right to visitation as ordered by the court cannot be suspended at will by the other parent. Additionally, the parent paying child support cannot withhold payments if visitation is withheld.
A parenting schedule is simply a formal document that organizes your visitation and custody arrangement.
In a divorce, these arrangements can be difficult to make. A Springfield divorce lawyer can provide you with support and represent you effectively.
You may also seek mediation or arbitration in a visitation case in order to avoid court and foster respect for family bonds during this process. Ask our Springfield family law attorney about these and other options available to you.
