What is Child Visitation?
Child visitation refers to the schedule and guidelines established for the time each parent spends with their children. The goal is to support the child’s best interests by maintaining a meaningful relationship with both parents. In Colorado, visitation arrangements can vary greatly depending on the unique circumstances of each family, including:
- Regular Parenting Time: Scheduled visits on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks.
- Supervised Visitation: Visits that occur in the presence of a third party to ensure the child’s safety.
- Virtual Visitation: Online communication methods, such as video calls, to supplement in-person visits.
