Parenting time refers to the amount of time a parent spends with their child. It is also known as visitation or access, and it typically involves regular scheduled periods when the child lives with one parent (custodial parent) while having visitations with the other parent (non-custodial parent). The purpose of parenting time is to maintain a strong relationship between the child and both parents, even if they are not living together. It also allows the non-custodial parent to have an active role in their child's life and to provide financial, emotional, and physical support.
