What should I know about obtaining an order for child visitation in New York state?
The first step that a parent who is looking to receive visitation rights in New York will take is to file an order of visitation to receive a court-ordered visitation schedule. The parent may have either supervised or unsupervised vision with the child, depending on the circumstances of the custody denial and the reasons for the denial.
It is also possible for grandparents and siblings to file petitions for orders of visitation. When making a decision regarding visitation orders, New York courts will primarily consider the best interests of the child. If the court believes that the party seeking visitation would benefit the child, they will likely grant visitation rights.
The next step a parent may take after receiving visitant rights may be to request a modification of their child custody agreement if they believe that they are ready to share custody of their child with the other parent. To learn more about this process, do not hesitate to reach out to our firm. Our legal team can assist you in requesting a modification.
