Karnataka High Court suggests 'parenting time' instead of 'visitation' in custody cases
Original: Child custody cases: Karnataka High Court suggests replacing 'visitation' with 'parenting time'
The Karnataka High Court has suggested that in child custody cases the term 'visitation' be replaced with 'parenting time'. The proposal reflects a view that custody language should focus on the child's relationship with both parents rather than framing one parent as a visitor in the child's life. The suggestion is being reported across Indian legal media and has drawn attention among family law practitioners and parents involved in custody proceedings.
Why now: A High Court proposing to change long-standing custody terminology signals a shift in how Indian courts view parental roles, which interests lawyers and parents.
