Visitation in Riverside Divorce Cases
In divorce cases, w hen physical custody is granted solely to one parent, the other parent will typically be awarded visitation rights. These rights give the non-custodial parent the chance to see and spend time with his or her children, despite no longer living in the same household. Parents have the option of creating their own visitation schedule, and the court will typically uphold their arrangement as long as it serves the best interest of the child. In cases where the parents cannot agree to a visitation arrangement, the judge will intervene, and make decisions based on what is best for the child. In most situations the judge will grant the non-custodial parent visitation rights, unless the parent has a history of domestic violence, drug or alcohol abuse or other factors are involved that are detrimental to the child's well-being. To find out more information about visitation and your parental rights, contact a Riverside divorce lawyer.

Unlike child support, there is no set formula for determining how much visitation time a parent should be awarded. There are a number of factors that a judge will consider when determining a visitation schedule, such as:
- Where each parent lives
- How far away the non-custodial parent lives from the child
- Each parent's work schedule
- The child's school schedule
