Access

Although access, or the periods of time that a child spends with the non-custodial parent, is something that is best dealt with on an amicable basis within the confines of a parenting plan (see Custody), it can often be a source of friction between separated spouses.  As a general rule, the parties should try to maximize the amount of time that the children are with each parent.  What is appropriate is, as always, determined by looking at what is in the best interests of the children.  What is right for each case varies.  Only by speaking with one of our experienced team can you assess, based upon the children's ages, stages of development, place of residence vis-à-vis the access parent, any allegations of abuse or special needs of the children, what is in fact appropriate for your children.  Call for an appointment today.
