Document background
A Visitation Agreement becomes necessary when parents are separated or divorced and need to establish clear, legally binding arrangements for the non-custodial parent to spend time with their child(ren). This document, governed by Indian law, provides a comprehensive framework for managing visitation rights while ensuring the child's best interests remain paramount. The agreement typically follows either a court order or mutual consent between parties and must comply with relevant Indian legislation including the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, and applicable personal laws. A well-drafted Visitation Agreement should address regular visitation schedules, holiday arrangements, transportation logistics, communication protocols, and modification procedures. It's particularly important in the Indian context where family structures and religious considerations often play significant roles in custody and visitation arrangements.
