Canfield Child Visitation Lawyer
Child custody, support and visitation are some of the most contentious issues in a divorce. Every parent wants to ensure the safety, happiness and stability of his or her child. Following a divorce, dissolution or separation, if a shared parenting plan was not decided upon, decisions regarding visitation rights will need to be made in order to allow both parents to see the child, unless the court decides it would not be in the child's best interest to see the parent who does not have custody. Visitation decisions are based on factors like the history of the parent-child relationship, the geographical location of the parent, the age of the child, the mental and physical health of all parties and more.
Even if visitation is denied to the noncustodial parent, he or she is still required to pay child support. Child support costs are considered children's rights, as they help cover basic expenses including food, clothing and shelter. In addition, support payments contribute to costs associated with medical treatment, education, entertainment and extracurricular activities. Factors that are taken into account when payments are calculated include the income of each parent, the costs of day care, if any, for the child, the cost of health insurance and the age of the child.
