Long Island Visitation Rights Attorney

Visitation and Divorce Lawyer Serving Suffolk & Nassau County

When a person is not granted full custody of a child, he or she may seek visitation rights. This would enable the mother, father, stepparent or grandparent to spend valuable time with the child, on a regular schedule that would be agreed on by the custodial parent and possibly ruled upon by the family law court. Visitation is an issue often related to a contested or uncontested divorce but may also arise in any situation where a parent or grandparent is attempting to spend time with a child or children that they do not have custody of.

Seeking the services of an experienced attorney is important if you have questions about or are interested in asserting your visitation rights. Because this may be a complex matter, particularly if you are not the biological mother or father, you may rely even more heavily upon your Long Island visitation rights lawyer. A lawyer who is familiar with these matters can help you understand what rights you have in seeking visitation rights and can then represent your interests to the fullest extent of the law in order to assist you in working out a visitation schedule that works well for you and your child or children.

Issues with Visitation Rights in Long Island?

As with any family law matter, there are potential issues that may arise regarding visitation rights. The custodial parent may try to deny visitation or may be unwilling to work with the non-custodial parent's schedule. The distance between parents may be great, potentially even in different states. The child may refuse to visit with the non-custodial parent. In any of these matters, a Long Island visitation attorney at our firm may be able to step in and work to protect your rights and interests in order to seek a resolution as swiftly as possible and that is in your best interests.
