In the event of a divorce, children and parents might be subjected to long-term emotional and social consequences. These challenges can be reduced if custodial and non-custodial parents maintain quality relationships with their children. Divorced families have to bear several challenges while living apart. For instance, geographical distances make visitation very difficult for divorced families. However, with the current advancements in technology virtual visitation has substituted and supplemented face-to-face personal visits (Elizabeth, 2005). Virtual visitation entails the use -of videoconferencing, emails, mobile phones, the internet, the web comes, and other related technologies to bridge communication between two or more individuals separated by geographical distances. Increasingly, divorced parents are seeking effective methods of communicating with their children. With virtual visitation, parents can virtually visit and relate to their children when face-to-face interaction is not an option. Unlike before, divorced parents can now be able to help their children solve their home works and guide them in their play stations using virtual visitation. In a globalized world, moving from one country to another has become a routine. In this regard, the adoption of virtual visitation by non-custodial distant divorced parents will be helpful. Using this scheme, non-custodial parents can maintain constant contact with their kids. Similarly, in the courts, the adoption of virtual visitation has played a huge role. Divorce lawyers assert that conflicts arise when custodial parents transfer far away from their ex-spouses. Since there are no laws that govern these transfers, several controversies arise when courts are settling these issues. On such occasions, the courts normally act in the interests of the children. This implies that the moving parent has to substantiate that the best interests of the children have prompted his or her transfer. The courts acknowledge that whenever custodial parents transfer from one place to the other visitation rights are often compromised. Therefore, the courts find the use of virtual visitation supplemented with face-to-face interaction as an innovative way divorced and distant parents can employ to stay in touch with their children. Based on the above arguments, virtual visitation is equally effective for the children, custodial parents, non-custodial parents, and courts because through this regular contacts can be maintained. In general, virtual visitation should be adopted in masses as it saves time and money. Despite the effectiveness realized when virtual visitation is integrated with-face-to face contact, it should be noted that there are serious disadvantages associated with the scheme. Notably, it has been argued that malicious parents may employ this scheme to decrease their physical contact with their children and non-custodial parents. Through such practices, children and noncustodial parents’ emotions will be compromised (Neustaedter, 2010). Equally, critics argue that with the adoption of this scheme, malicious parents will adopt it and use it as an excuse to allow them to move far away from their ex-spouses denying them and their children their visitation righ
