Re: Visitation vs. physical placement

For physical placement, read your

Wisconsin statute. Visitation generally defines

the time when a noncustodial parent (the

parent who does not have phsical custody of the

child) may see the child. For example,

once on Saturday and on Wednesday evenings

between 6 and 8.

Under certain circumstances, the visitation

location is specified.
