Visitation

Freehold and East Brunswick Visitation Lawyer

Protect Your Right to See Your Child / Children - (866) 760-6430

Visitation refers to time that a non-custodial parent is allowed to spend with his or her child. Courts in New Jersey often use the term "parenting time" so that emphasis is placed on the importance of the parenting role that the non-custodial parent has in the child's life. Visitation is a topic that must be discussed in a divorce when one parent is given sole physical custody. Schedules for visitation spell out the arrangements for allowable visitation time and can be worked out between parents or by the court.

Factors That Determine Visitation Plans

The state of New Jersey favors shared parental responsibility and frequent contact between the child and both parents.

There are several options for custody:

When sole physical custody is seen as the best option, visitation rights may be awarded based on several factors, including the parents' ability to agree and communicate.

Most importantly, the child's best interest is viewed as the primary concern when deciding visitation and custodial rights. Various types of visitation schedules are available in New Jersey. Parents can agree on one that fits their specific needs and situation. In some circumstances, supervised visitation may be required if the child needs to be protected.

What if Failure to Comply Occurs?

If one parent has failed to follow the specified visitation schedule, penalties can result. A visitation schedule is a court order that must be followed. If a pattern exists in regard to a violation of the visitation schedule, the court will take action to punish the perpetrator.

For example, if the custodial parent denies the other's right to visit the child, the court can transfer custody to the parent who was denied their rights. At the Law Offices of Ryan E. Gilbert, LLC, I have experience handling a variety of visitation situations as an East Brunswick child custody lawyer.

    "My case had a successful outcome."
    Ryan was compassionate, intelligent, efficient and thorough; he gave good advice, represented me in court, and was successful in winning a reduction in my property taxes. I wholeheartedly recommend him. I know he handles other types of cases as well.

    "Great job protecting my future"
    Ryan was a trusted adviser throughout the course of my legal issues. I was unfamiliar with legal proceedings and Ryan was able to explain to me my legal situation, and risks associated with various defenses and decisions I had to make. He took the time to explain all the scenarios to my satisfaction which gave me piece of mind and comfort. Ryan was also very responsive through various forms of communications (phone, email, text) which made keeping in contact convenient throughout the process. Ryan showed up on time (early in fact) to various appointments and appeared to handle relationship building effectively with opposing attorneys and the prosecutor. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the work done by Ryan as the outcome of my legal matter was better than I had expected and kept my reputation in tact, which undoubtedly will help me pursue my future career/professional ambitions.

    "Professionalism at its best"
    Mr. Gilbert has made my case easy and clear to understand without all the legal jargon. He took time to help me clearly understand my case and kept me updated with all occurrences. Also, the case had been postponed and he waited alongside and had a friendly chat at the nearby Starbucks and besides giving me a great case result, he made me feel as if I had someone by my side. Patient, honest, and soft spoken, Ryan is not someone else whom just told me what to do and I just say yes too, like previous attorneys I had. I will always suggest and use Ryan Gilbert as my attorney.
    - Former Client
    "Attentive, fast responding, professional, expert"
    Attentive, fast responding, professional and expert is how I would describe the attention and service that I received from Mr. Gilbert. He solved my matter quickly and explained in very clear terms each step and set expectation for action on all sides. I was very pleased with how my matter was resolved and would recommend Mr. Gilbert to those requiring legal services. If needed I would absolutely seek Mr. Gilbert's council again.
    - Former Client
    "An invaluable asset to anyone"
    Mr. Gilbert is an excellent attorney. His knowledge and experience make him an invaluable asset to anyone looking for an attorney.

    "Ryan could not have been more helpful"
    I found myself in quite a situation and Ryan could not have been more helpful in my time of need. Ryan worked tirelessly and did whatever he could to secure for me the best possible outcome.
