What type of visitation rights are associated with a child support order?

In Virginia, visitation rights associated with a child support order will depend on the individual order and the stipulations within it. Generally, visitation rights are considered a joint responsibility between the custodial parent and the noncustodial parent. The custodial parent typically has the right to make decisions regarding the child’s day-to-day surgical care and education, and the non-custodial parent typically pays child support and may have visitation rights. This can include parenting time with the child, phone calls, or emails. The visitation agreement may be decided through the court or can be formalized by the parents in a written agreement. Generally, the noncustodial parent will be granted visitation on weekends, holidays, and vacations, and sometimes during the week. The visitation information is usually listed in the child support order, but can also be set out in a separate visitation agreement. The visitation schedule can change over time and should be reviewed annually. The court may modify the visitation order to accommodate the current needs of the child and the parents. It is important for both parties to abide by the agreement, as failure to do so can result in enforcement and modification actions by the court.
