Karnataka High Court orders humane terms in child custody cases
Original: 'Parenting time, not visitation time': Karnataka HC directs using humane terminology in child custody cases
The Karnataka High Court has directed that courts and legal proceedings in child custody matters use the phrase 'parenting time' instead of 'visitation time'. The court said the older terminology is mechanical and fails to reflect the continuing bond between both parents and the child. The move is being welcomed as a shift towards more humane, child-centred language in family law.
Why now: The court's direction reframes custody language in a way that resonates with parents and family law practitioners.
