Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
In South Carolina what legal actions can a custodial parent take against a non custodial parent who doesn't exercise their visitation rights? Can a non custodial parent's right for visitation be revoked for non visitation because it is emotionally or mentally affecting the child?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The custodial parent cannot force the non-custodial parent to exercise his/her visitation. However, the custodial parent could use the failure to visit as a basis to modify, reduce, or terminate the other parent's visitation under certain circumstances.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
