Visitation Schedules in New York
While specific visitation schedules will vary, one of the most common visitation
patterns is alternate weekends from Friday after school until Sunday evening
at an agreed upon time. Weekday visitation may allow the non-custodial
parent to pick the child up from school or visit one or two days after
school until an agreed upon time of the evening (usually 7 or 7:30 pm).
Holiday visitation usually involves both parents switching off holidays
from year to year or alternating holidays throughout the year. Specific
visitation schedules regarding school holidays and breaks as well as summer
vacation will need to be arranged as well.
