Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Me and my husband, Paternal grandparens have been granted Liberal and reasonable visitation with our grand-daughter a all times as mutually agreed, with reasonable notice to the child's custodians. What exactly does that mean? Do we get visits once a week or as often as we'd llike? Does that also mean that we can have the child overnigt on ocassion?

At "all times as mutually agreed", that means as agreed between you and the child's current caretakers and with reasonable notice, that means something (probably) like 24-48 hours in advance of when you would like to visit.

However, notwithstanding all of the above (yes, there's that lawyerly phrase which you may have already seen more than once in your case for grandparent visitation), how does all this actually translate into what your visitation schedule with your granddaughter will actually turn out to be: I haven't the foggiest idea (the most honest answer I can provide).
