Child Visitation Lawyer—Phoenix, Arizona

For many people, divorce brings stress, emotional pain, and financial instability. However, if you have children, you will also worry about their well-being and how you will maintain an active role in their lives if you are not granted custody. If you are not given physical custody of your child, you are entitled to visitation rights.

Under Arizona law, visitation is referred to as “parenting time.” This means that a non-custodial parent has the right to spend a reasonable amount of time with his or her child outside of the custodial parent’s home.

Our experienced child custody visitation agreement attorneys will help you fight aggressively for your visitation rights if you are embroiled in a child custody dispute. 

Major Events which Can Change your Visitation Rights
Sometimes, child visitation plans are altered because of life circumstances that are out of your control or negative behaviors and/or lifestyle choices that can affect your child’s upbringing. The following can affect your visitation rights:

Health Problems
If a parent faces serious health problems, he or she may find it difficult to properly care for and nurture his or her child. In the case of severe illness, the court may decide that a different visitation arrangement is in the best interests of the child.

Relocation
When one parent moves out of state to take a new job or start a new life, you may need to revisit your parenting plan to take into account interstate visitation.

Drugs/Alcohol
If a parent is facing a drug or alcohol addiction or is abusing drugs or alcohol, the court may wish to modify the parenting plan since drug and alcohol dependency can negatively affect your child’s upbringing.

Abuse
If the child is suffering abuse and/or neglect at the hands of a parent, the court will modify visitation rights so that the parent sees the child only through supervised visits, or not at all.
