Modifying Your Visitation Rights
As a parent, your relationship with your children is one of the most important things in your life. It can be incredibly frustrating to have the time you spend with your children legally limited following your divorce. Many non-custodial parents have a hard time adjusting to seeing significantly less of their children following their divorce. Fortunately, your visitation rights can be legally modified to increase the amount of time you can spend with your children.
If you’re a parent and you’re concerned that you’re not allowed to spend enough time with your kids, the San Jose visitation lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. may be able to help you fight for your rights. To find out more about how we can help you get the visitation rights you deserve, contact us today by calling 561-353-2800.
Filing an Order to Show Cause
Your first step in modifying your visitation rights is to file an Order to Show Cause (OSC), which establishes your intentions. This document will be served to your former spouse, and will begin legal proceedings. It can help your cause if you can establish one of the following:
- Your former spouse has been actively attempting to alienate the children. This can be in the form of denying your legal right to visit your children under the terms of the divorce settlement, or attempting to distance their affection.
- The children’s home life is a toxic one. For example, does your former spouse drink heavily? Is your former spouse providing an abusive environment?
- Your former spouse is unable to support your children financially.
You can discuss your case with an experienced divorce attorney to learn more about how you can modify your visitation rights.
