Based on Long Island, we are proud to offer compassionate, top-rated family law services that prioritize the well-being of your children while protecting your parental rights.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful resolution or need guidance through a more complex situation, our experienced attorneys are here to help. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about establishing visitation schedules and how we can support you.

Why Are Visitation Schedules Important?

A thoughtfully crafted visitation schedule isn’t just a legal formality; it’s a roadmap for maintaining strong family bonds.

These schedules provide:

• Consistency for Children: Regular routines help children feel secure and loved, even during periods of significant change.
• Reduced Conflict: Clear agreements minimize misunderstandings and conflicts between co-parents.
• Legal Protection: An official schedule ensures that both parents’ rights are respected and upheld.

By addressing the needs of everyone involved, visitation schedules serve as a foundation for harmonious co-parenting.

Key Factors to Consider When Establishing Visitation Schedules

Creating a schedule that works for everyone requires careful consideration. At Greebel & Greebel, we help you evaluate critical factors, including:

• The Child’s Age and Needs: Younger children may require shorter, more frequent visits, while older kids may prefer longer stays.
• School and Extracurricular Activities: Balancing visitation with academic and social commitments is crucial.
• Parental Work Schedules: We aim to create a plan that accommodates both parents' professional obligations.
• Special Circumstances: Unique family dynamics, such as health concerns or long distances, require tailored solutions.

Our approach ensures that every detail is accounted for, resulting in a schedule that prioritizes your child’s best interests.

Types of Visitation Schedules

When it comes to visitation, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your family’s needs, we may recommend:

1. Standard Visitation Schedules
This option typically includes every other weekend, one evening during the week, and alternating holidays.

2. Shared Parenting Plans
For families seeking an equal division of time, a 50/50 arrangement may work best.

3. Customized Schedules
Families with unique circumstances, such as parents living far apart, can benefit from personalized schedules.

Our expertise lies in helping families identify and implement the right plan to suit their unique circumstances.
