Every parent has a right to visitation with their child---more specifically, every child has a right to visitation with their parent. Because of this, a custodial parent cannot deny a parent or child's right to visitation with a non-custodial parent because of missed child support or alimony payments. Under extreme cases, the State of Florida will simply require supervised visitation. However, the first step in enforcing visitation with your child is setting up a court-ordered visitation agreement.

Enforceable Court Orders

A court-ordered visitation agreement will be fully enforceable through contempt hearings so that a parent can be assured he or she get equal parenting time. If you are a non-custodial parent who sees your child often enough, you may be entitled to a substantial reduction in monthly child support payments because of the expenses incurred in caring for your child during visitation. A post-divorce modification of the child support payments may become necessary to reflect the change in the visitation agreement.
