Child custody rights become a lot harder
to understand when one parent has been awarded full custody of the child
or children. When one parent has full custody, they have assumed full
legal responsibility for the children. Although the custodial parent has
all parental rights and privileges of the children, this does not mean
that the non-custodial parent is not allowed visitation and does not
have to pay child support.The
non-custodial parent must understand through-out trial the judge does
not care about their feelings, what is fair or what is just. Their job
is to decide which parent the child will be best with after hearing all
evidence, and from thereon will determine the non-custodial parent's
child custody rights.
In most jurisdictions, if the
non-custodial parent is no harm to the children, the non-custodial
parent will be awarded regular visitation time. Child custody rights can
change from state to state and country to country, and therefore the
best way to ensure you completely understand your rights would be to
seek legal aid. The legal representation will be able to provide each
parent with their rights and explain the laws which will apply to the
parents arrangement.
