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 FaceTime, e-mail, instant messaging, video conference,
chatting in a private chat room, 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.

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.
Although many parents think they can tie child support payments to visitation
privileges, it is important to understand that the one is legally independent
of the other. As an example, if one party has not received the appropriate child support payment, he or she may
not decide to prevent the other from exercising any visitation rights.

disputes.

jurisdictional issues. John Walker, Attorney advises that a separation agreement may be made a part of a NC no
