Child Visitation in Pennsylvania

The situation regarding child visitation rights following a divorce in Pennsylvania is legally complicated. Visitation rights refer to the set of laws surrounding the legal right of a parent or other family member to visit and spend time with a child following a divorce.

Even this seemingly minor area of the law is fraught with complexity and detailed legalities, however.

How is Custody Determined in Pennsylvania Court?

In determining child custody issues following a divorce a family court judge will have to make several decisions, each one based on what serves the best interest of all children involved. The court will try to make the situation as amicable as possible but in many cases are often forced to favor one parent over another, or decide that both parents are unfit for custody. Some factors the judge will consider include whether the parents can agree to cooperate with the ruling, whether one parent wants custody more than another, whether any child abuse was involved, whether the child has siblings and how custody will be determined when they are included, what the child’s needs are and many other factors.

What Factors are Considered in Visitation Rights in Montgomery County?

If you are a relative of the children in question you may have standing to file for visitation rights as well, if necessary. A judge will hear a request for a visitation by a relative if that request seems to be in the best interest of the child. They will consider the relative’s closeness to the child, the history of their relationship, the relative’s relationship with the child’s parents or guardians and many other factors.
