Brea California Child Visitation Attorneys
In the state of California, parents have a right to establish visitation with their children after divorce or paternity is established. While a criminal record and other extenuating factors may restrict visitation or determine the conditions under which it takes place, the courts recognize the inherent right of a parent to establish and maintain a relationship with their children. At the law office of William Hinz, we work with families and parents in establishing visitation plans and schedules that enforce the rights of parents while taking into account the best interests of a child. Since visitation plans and schedules must be approved by the court, care must be taken in determining when visitation will take place, where, and for how long.
Create a visitation plan that works best for everyone involved -- contact visitation lawyers at the William Hinz law office today. We provide free consultations in order to answer any questions you might have and explain the options available for arranging visitation with your children.
What Sort of Factors Are Taken Into Consideration?
While the court will always give precedent to what it considers to be the best interest of a child, visitation schedules should reflect certain important practical and emotional considerations such as the following:
- Work schedule or parents
- Time spent visiting relatives
- Medical needs of a child
- Vacation schedules of parents
- Weekend obligations of parents
- Religious beliefs or practices of parents and children
- Grandparents Rights
When Visitation is Denied by the Custodial Parent - Enforcing Your Rights
Unfortunately, custodial parents sometimes attempt to deny or limit visitation when disagreements or personal issues arise. If your ex-spouse refuses to honor your visitation rights or continually makes excuses that prevent them from dropping off your child, our office can help. As your attorney, William Hinz files an enforcement motion with the court to ensure your visitation rights are maintained. If your ex-spouse continues to ignore court-ordered and court-sanctioned visitation rights, you may be able to demand custody.
