Whether courts provide for a specific schedule or something as general as the right to visit the children and have them visit the noncustodial parent at reasonable times and places commensurate with the children s health, education, and welfare is within the court s discretion. Courts have discretion to provide for visitation rights, even if both parents had previously agreed to no visitation. Courts realize that sometimes children simply parrot the wishes of a custodial parent, and they realize that sometimes the child is simply too immature to form a considered opinion. Sometimes children express fears or unwillingness to visit their other parent without any reasonable basis or foundation, and in these cases, the trial court is within its discretion to order visitation even over the child s objections. Where one parent interferes with the orderly visitation schedule, the court may by statute require that parent to post a performance bond to guarantee compliance with the court s orders.
Standard visitation varies from county to county.
At such other times as agreed upon between the parties. The Husband shall notify the Wife of the hours of the intended visit not less than one week before the day of said visitation. Any other reasonable times and places upon which the parties can agree. Husband shall give 48 hours notice and the visitation should be no longer than 48 hours in duration. The flights shall be either non-stop or direct and no change of planes will be involved until the children reach the age of 14 years.
