The Difference Between Custody and Visitation Agreements
While they are certainly related, custody agreements and visitation agreements are two different issues.
Visitation agreements address the right of the non-custodial parent to remain involved in their child’s life. These documents establish a set of guidelines to create a consistent and nurturing relationship between parent and child.
