The idea of visitation with your own child is a ridiculous concept. Parents do not
visit their children; parents live with their children. Your child has two parents who no

it is only for a few hours or for a weekend, unless there is some very exigent
circumstances. Here's some advice for the custodial and non-custodial parent.
