When a court limits the time a parent spends with their child, it's natural for the parties involved to experience a range of emotions. As a parent, you may worry about preserving your bond, while your children may struggle to understand why visits look different. These situations often arise during difficult family transitions, making an already emotional time even more challenging.

When a parent plans to move, child custody arrangements can suddenly become a source of stress, uncertainty, and conflict.
