Understanding Standard Visitation: Key Insights for Parents
Hello, my name is Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we are going to be discussing standard visitation. Standard visitation is what you would normally see as a custody schedule when you are a non-custodial parent, but you are not living too far away from the other parent, so you can have regular visitation with your minor child.
Typically, a standard visitation schedule includes an every other weekend arrangement. This could be structured as Thursday to Monday or Friday to Monday. Additionally, certain counties may allow you to have an extra day on your off week, which can be beneficial for maintaining a strong relationship with your child.
Variability Across Counties
It is important to note that Oklahoma does not have a uniform standard visitation schedule applicable to all counties. Each county has its own rules and regulations regarding visitation, which means that what works in one area may not work in another. Therefore, if you are facing a custody case or matter, it’s crucial to determine the specific visitation schedule that applies to your situation.
The only standardization that exists in Oklahoma regarding visitation is the minimum requirements outlined in Title 43, particularly in sections 111.1 and 111.1a. Generally, standard visitation offers the minimum amount of time you can expect to spend with your child unless you are deemed a danger to them. For most cases, this means having visitation every other weekend, which typically results in seeing your child twice a month.
