Virtual Visitation: Navigating Screens, Schedules, and Safety

For family law professionals, facilitating virtual visitation offers significant benefits to children who are navigating their parents’ divorce. Kids are able to maintain meaningful connections with non-custodial parents, especially when physical distance and scheduling conflicts can hinder interactions.

• How emerging technology can offer enhanced reporting and safety features, and in turn empower and protect families

• Best practices when drafting an order that includes virtual visitation
