Happy New Year from the Monzingo Law Office!
Timeshare is the time period that a child spends with a custodian. The court determines what this arrangement is by evaluating a child's best interests. Currently, the presumption is parents will enjoy equal timeshare. This presumption can be overcome or may not be applicable, depending on the parties' circumstances and work schedule.
Timeshare may need to be on a different schedule at different stages of the child's life or even during certain times of year, depending on the needs of the parents and of the child. Timeshare is modifiable until a child emancipates.
The experienced family law attorney at Monzingo Law Office can assist you achieve a schedule that is in your child's best interests.
(Visitation is an arcane term for timeshare. It has fallen out of favor since parents do not normally visit their children.)
