Every parent has the right to see his or her children. We help parents involved in divorces and parents who were never married come up with appropriate child visitation plans. Sometimes there are even cases in which non-parents have visitation rights. The state of Texas has a standard schedule that can be modified to better fit your personal situation. We can help you understand your rights and available options.
Visitation and Legal Ramifications
There are very few situations in which one parent is not allowed visitation rights. Even these situations require special court orders. By failing to release a child for visitation, you could face significant jail time. A few situations can cause visitation rights to be withheld:
- Criminal Activity
- Addiction
- Abuse or neglect
- You cannot lose visitation rights for failing to pay child support. If you are entered into a child support plan that isn't working, you might want to consider a modification.
Visitation Modification
Just like child support, visitation schedules can be modified. If there has been a major change in your schedule, geographical location, or children's situation, a family law attorney can help you get the appropriate modification. Visitation plans can be changed until a child turns eighteen.
