Overview
When a visiting schedule helps
A parent who lives separately has the right to take part in the child's upbringing. A clear schedule protects that right, reduces conflict and can be enforced if the other parent does not follow it.
01
You live in another country from your child
02
The other parent limits or blocks contact
03
You want holidays abroad with your child
04
An existing schedule no longer works
Your options
Three ways to set a visiting schedule
01
Agreement on a schedule
Parents agree on meetings, holidays and video calls in writing.
Usually 2–4 weeks
01
Child-protection authority
The authority sets the schedule when parents cannot agree.
Usually 1–2 months
01
Court decision
The court sets a binding schedule that can be enforced.
Usually 2–6 months
