The non-custodial parent is entitled by Florida Law, to reasonable visitation
with the minor children. The entitlement exists regardless of the obligation
to pay child support. A standard visitation schedule is available to all divorcing
parents, and is recommended by the Florida courts. Divorcing parents can utilize
this schedule as a basis for an agreed-upon schedule of their own, or in the
absence of an agreement, the Court will order this visitation schedule be followed.
There are circumstances where the Court may restrict reasonable visitation
rights. Examples of restricted visitation may include no overnight visitation, visitation
that is supervised by a third-party, or limitations as to the activities that
can take place during visitation. Cooperation between the parties is necessary
in order to abide by any visitation schedule. The court will intervene only
when the parties fail to follow the visitation schedule and will enforce the
parties' cooperation for the best interest of the minor children.
