• Utah Legislature: House Oks Bill to Protect Child Visitation

SALT LAKE CITY -- Being a noncustodial parent is like being escorted from the kitchen to the back porch and told to wait until someone remembers you're there, several parents said Tuesday in explaining why they endorse a bill that would criminalize intentional disruption of a parent's visit. No matter how well two former spouses get along, no matter how close noncustodial parents try to stay with their children, only seeing them a few hours after school on Wednesday and every other weekend -- the usual visitation times that are part of a divorce decree -- the relationship they had erodes away pretty quickly, the parents who endorse the bill said.

• Ohio Supreme Court Rules Child Visitation Law Is Constitutional

A state's third-party visitation law does not violate a custodial parent's constitutional rights, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled. After a mother died of cancer, her parents were granted temporary legal custody of their granddaughter. The child's father, who hadn't married the mother, sought legal custody. A juvenile court designated him the child's custodial parent although she had lived with her grandparents for the previous five years. The father then refused to permit visitation between his daughter and her grandparents.

• Child Visitation Site Studied

Supervised visitation" -- letting an abusive parent visit a child only in a neutral site with a third party present -- seems like such a good solution to a family problem. The parent-child relationship can be rebuilt in a safe environment, the abuser can learn proper behavior toward a child and the child can gradually regain trust.
