Noncustodial parents usually have rights over their child, including visitation, communication, access to information, decision-making authority, and the ability to enforce court orders. These rights may vary depending on the case.
It is important for both parents to understand that, except in rare cases, a noncustodial parent tends to always have rights over their child. However, these may not be consistent from case to case. A noncustodial parent’s rights may allow them the same amount of time with their child as guardian, while another person’s rights may only entitle them to weekly supervised visits. Other common types of noncustodial parental rights may include access to school records and equal decision-making authority regarding medical decisions for the child.
The fact that a parent is the guardian does not generally mean that they have full authority over the child. It is only in rare cases that a parent is at risk of being completely cut off from their child. A noncustodial parent’s rights generally always allow for some kind of visitation. The amount and terms are the factors that can vary greatly. Court orders allow some noncustodial parents to give the child equal length of time as the guardian.
A noncustodial parent’s rights usually allow for a certain amount of communication with his or her child during off-visitor times. Such orders may allow interaction by various means, such as online phone or video calls. In cases like these, the custodial parent cannot decide, for example, that, as a punishment for the child’s bad behavior, being motivated by the use of the telephone includes a ban on talking to his father.
The noncustodial parent’s rights generally entitle him to access certain types of information about his child. He may be able to request medical and school records and have him explain them as they would be explained to the other parent. He may also have the right to be informed about certain problems that arise with his child, such as illnesses, accidents and behavioral problems. Some court orders include decision-making authority as a noncustodial parent’s rights. This requires the custodian to communicate with him when choices are made regarding a wide range of issues, such as choosing a school or place of worship or approving a medical procedure.
A noncustodial parent’s rights may also include the authority to require his or her child to remain within a jurisdiction. In some places, the custodial parent may move away or leave the country with the child and the noncustodial parent is powerless. In other places, however, these kinds of decisions not only require the consent of the noncustodial parent, but may need to agree in writing.
In addition, a noncustodial parent has the right to enforce court orders. The reason for a court order is to make certain decisions legally binding. The only way justice can be done is if individuals are required to comply. Depending on the circumstances, compliance may be enforced by police officers or a court case.
