Defending Visitation Rights

Divorce proceedings are not only instituted to dissolve marriages; they are designed to preserve healthy family relationships so children of divorce are not unduly burdened. While there are always instances where children need to be shielded from an abusive parent, most often it is in the best interest of the child for the parent-child relationship to be nurtured through ongoing contact. When a joint custody arrangement is not feasible, the non-custodial parent is entitled to reasonable visitation in order to maintain a loving relationship with his or her children. Our experienced Saratoga County visitation rights lawyers are dedicated to protecting your parent-child relationships and defending visitation rights.
