Parenting Time -Does the non custodial parent have a right to call the
minor children while they are at the other parent's home?
Question
Does the non custodial parent have a right to call the minor children while
they are at the other parent's home? Does the parenting time order
need to specifically state when the non custodial parent may call?
Answer
The court's position is that a parent always has reasonable rights to telephone
contact with his or her children. That said, in order for a provision
to be able to be enforced, it needs to be specific (days/times) and in
a court order.
