Virtual Parental Visitation | Family Law Child Support Enforcement Agencies | After Uncontested NC Divorce Child Custody/Support Problems

Virtual Visitation - Virtual visitation also called Internet visitation or computer visitation and is a way for parents to have face time with their children through electronic means.

Virtual Visitation is the use of electronic communication tools like E-mail, Instant Messaging, Video Conference, Video Calls, Video Mail, chatting in a private chat room, instant messaging, and interactive game playing etc. over the Internet or any other communication media. Virtual Visitation is intended to supplement not replace one on one time between a child and both parents. So if you are a separated, divorcing, or distant parent who wants a better way to stay in touch with your children than the telephone alone can provide, this might be for you.

The various methods that parents can use for virtual visitation are personal video conference, web-cam, and video phone. The intent is to supplement face to face time between parents and children. Although the focus of most cases of virtual visitation has been divorced, non-custodial parents communicating with their children, this can also be utilized by any parent who is away from a child in the military, traveling on business or vacation, or in a correctional facility.

If You Have Child Custody/Support Problems After Your Uncontested Divorce in North Carolina - Even after you have your child support detailed in a separation agreement or court order, you may find that it is not paid on time or in the full amount. When a parent fails to comply in the state of North Carolina the contempt statutes can provide a solution to the problem.
