Child visitation rights, also known as parenting time, are legally established arrangements that allow non-custodial parents to spend time with their children following a divorce or separation. These rights ensure that children maintain meaningful relationships with both parents, which is crucial for their emotional well-being and development. In Missouri, courts typically favor joint custody arrangements, but when this isn't feasible, they determine visitation schedules based on the child's best interests. Factors considered include the child's age, school schedule, parents' work commitments, and the child's preferences (if they're old enough). Visitation rights can encompass regular weekday or weekend visits, holiday schedules, and summer vacations. It's important to note that these arrangements can be modified as circumstances change. If you're navigating child visitation issues in Missouri, Ott Law Firm can provide guidance tailored to your unique situation. Our experienced family law attorneys are committed to helping you achieve a fair visitation arrangement that prioritizes your child's well-being. Contact us at 314-794-6900 for a consultation and learn how we can support you through this process.
