The Law Offices of Scott David Stewart

Phoenix Visitation Rights Lawyer

In most divorces, custody and visitation rights are highly disputed issues. Visitation rights are frequently determined involving non-custodial parents. Typically, parents agree to a parenting plan in which split weeks, every other week, or weekends are scheduled for visitation. The Law Offices of Scott David Stewart represents clients in determining visitation where divorce has transferred physical custody to a former spouse or domestic partner. In cases where visitation has been denied by a custodial parent or where visitation needs to be established, as in paternity cases, Mr. Stewart works closely with the court to ensure visitation is granted.

Located in Phoenix, Arizona, our office has handled numerous visitation cases throughout Maricopa County, including the cities of Scottsdale, Glendale, El Mirage, Tolleson, Chandler, Mesa, Goodyear, Paradise Valley, Guadalupe, and Sun City. Regardless of whether your son or daughter is an infant, toddler, or teen, we can help you understand the specifics of your visitation matters.

What Can Impact Visitation

While the state of Arizona recognizes a parent’s right to visitation, the following can impact whether or not visitation is supervised or allowed:

• Criminal record
• DUI or drug conviction
• Conviction on sexual offense
• Documented alcohol or drug addiction

While these factors do not automatically disqualify you for visitation, they can affect what the court will permit. For instance, a conviction on a DUI charge may prohibit you from driving with your children in the car. As your visitation attorney, Scott David Stewart documents your fitness as a parent and willingness to work with the court in establishing visitation with your child.

Violating the Terms of Visitation

Visitation almost always involves a parenting plan where terms and conditions are laid out governing how vacations, travel, and communication will be handled during visitation. If your spouse has violated the terms of their visitation, we immediately file a contempt order and take appropriate legal action in defense of your children.
