About Visitation Rights in North Carolina
Our law firm fights for our clients. The reality is that if your ex-spouse hires a lawyer to get the most out of you during your divorce, it can be hard to get what you want without an expert on your side. The Law Corner has been in business over a decade and has helped out hundreds of people during that time. We get you the visitation rights you want. If you have no past criminal record, this will be easy. Even if you don’t have a perfect past, we will consult with you today about your situation and steps moving forward.
Q: How do I choose my visitation rights?
A: The Law Corner recommends getting better visitation rights through mediation. In this process, you sit down with a spouse and a mediator to talk out your issues and come up with a divorce agreement that you can both sign. Since this process does not involve a judge, you will have greater control over the outcome.
Q: What visitation rights do fathers have?
A:
Fathers have the same rights as mothers in the divorce proceedings. The Law Corner fights for the visitation rights of fathers and gets you the legal responsibility and rights that you deserve and want with a child of an ended relationship.
Children are subject to the authority of their parents during the early years of their life, during what is termed their minority. In the event of the breakdown of the relationship between a minor child’s parents, a court may define or modify a parent’s access rights to the child within the context of proceedings for legal separation, divorce or child custody. Custody and access rights may be established in other manners, such as adoption or legal guardianship.
Q: What is the difference between a residential parent vs. a non-residential parent?
A: The residential parent is the parent who the children stay with the majority of the time. This term started to be used since the implementation of the joint custody: both parents have custody of the child, but, usually, the child lives in the house of one of them the majority of the time. The non-residential parent is the parent that has been granted with child custody but only accommodates the child in their house for limited periods of time.
Q: What are visitation agreements?
A: In North Carolina, the visitation rights are defined in the separation agreement. This agreement is not generally updated. That means that you need to get the visitation rights you want at the time of divorce as modifying them later will be difficult.
