Parenting time or visitation is part of child custody and defines each parent’s time with the child. Every custody agreement in Georgia requires a parenting plan. This plan gives the parent with physical custody the right to make day-to-day decisions and should allow both parents to foster a close relationship with their child.
Together, parents can choose how parenting time will be divided. If there is no agreement, they can ask a judge to decide how parenting time will be divided. No matter how visitation is decided, the details must be included in a formal parenting plan.
