Child Custody "Reasonable visitation" is usually the first option given to the noncustodial parent.
Reasonable visitation is often the most practical solution because it allows the two parents to create a flexible visitation plan that works with both their own and their children’s schedule. Reasonable visitation works best when the parents are able to maintain a civil relationship with one another.
