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 the term 'parenting time' be used instead of 'visitation' in all child custody cases. The change is aimed at reframing how courts describe the contact a non-custodial parent has with their child, presenting it as an ongoing parental responsibility rather than a limited right to visit. Legal observers say the wording shift could influence how custody arrangements are perceived by families and courts.
Why now: The court's new terminology directive is seen as a meaningful shift in how child custody and parental rights are framed in India.
