South Carolina Visitation
When one parent is awarded custody, the other parent
will generally be awarded set visitation. A requirement for supervised
visitation is uncommon and is generally ordered only when the other parent is
unfit. The amount of visitation that the other parent is awarded can vary
widely. The primary issues determining the amount of the other parent’s
visitation are geographic distance between the parent and child (a parent who
lives close by can have more frequent visitation) and the nature of the
relationship between the parent and child (where the non custodial parent has a
substantial relationship with the child, he or she is likely to be awarded more
substantial visitation). Visitation orders can also built around the
non-custodial parent’s work schedule: a parent who works an odd work schedule
(such as policemen or firemen) will often be awarded visitation that coincides
with their days off.
