Hey everyone, I’m going through a tough situation with my child’s other parent. We have a court-ordered visitation schedule, but lately there have been some concerning issues. It breaks my heart to keep my child away from their parent, but their behavior makes me question if visitation is truly in their best interest.
So, I’m wondering, what are some reasons a non-custodial parent might lose visitation rights? Are there specific actions that could trigger a change in the custody agreement?

Sounds like you’re in a difficult situation with your child’s visitation schedule with their other parent. You recognise the value of your child’s bond with both parents. However, their recent actions have left you concerned about your child’s safety during these visits. If a parent’s behaviour endangers the child, legal action can be taken. These possibilities enable for revisions to existing custody agreements, ensuring that the child’s best interests are always prioritised.

I’m truly perplexed. You consented to have your child reside with their grandma rather than with the custodial mother while she was having the child taken away? Why would you act in such a way?
Having access to your child is not contingent upon paying child support. Playing is not paid for.
It is acceptable for you to protest a continuation.
You seem to be in much over your head. A lawyer is necessary for you.

A non-custodial parent can lose visitation rights for several reasons, majorly related to the child’s safety and well-being.
The reasons include:
- Abuse or neglect: If there is evidence of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or neglect, the court may revoke visitation rights.
- Substance abuse: A history of drug or alcohol abuse can lead to the loss of visitation rights, especially if it poses a risk to the child’s safety.
- Domestic violence: If the non-custodial parent has a history of domestic violence, this can be a significant factor in losing visitation rights.
- Criminal activity: Engaging in criminal activities, especially those that endanger the child, can lead to the loss of visitation rights.
- Child’s wishes: While not always decisive, the child’s expressed discomfort or fear about visiting the non-custodial parent can influence the court’s decision.
Hello, folks. As the child becomes older and more autonomous, possibly driving himself to school or work, the child’s activities require more flexibility from both parents. For example, the child accepts a summer job away from both parents.
