How Does Visitation Work?

When it comes to child custody and visitation, there are many factors to consider. The court will always consider what is in the best interest of the child when making a decision. Visitation rights are a negotiation between parents. If you’re not the custodial parent, it’s crucial to have an agreement in place that outlines: When visits will take place Where children will spend holidays Where children will spend summer or spring break Massachusetts law requires the court to consider the child’s best interest and if abuse occurred when determining visitation and custody. If any form of abuse occurs, the court may dictate how visitation occurs, including taking measures to protect the child’s well-being and safety. If the abusive parent is granted visitation rights, the court may decide to: Require a third party to attend visits Prohibit overnight visits Require the parent to pay supervision costs Require a bond for the safe return of the child Courts can decide to impose conditions on visitation to ensure that the child is safe during visits.
