Karnataka High Court replaces 'visitation' with 'parenting time' in custody cases
Original: Karnataka High Court orders using ‘parenting time’ instead of ‘visitation’ in all child custody cases
The Karnataka High Court has directed that courts in the state use the term 'parenting time' instead of 'visitation' in all child custody cases. The change reframes a non-custodial parent's contact with their child as an ongoing parental role rather than a temporary visit, reflecting a shift towards child-centred family law language. The ruling is being noted as a significant change in how custody arrangements are described in judicial orders across Karnataka.
Why now: A high court has just issued a directive changing standard legal terminology in family courts, drawing attention from legal observers and parents.
