Homonym: visitation (Visit)
Visitation refers to the act of visiting someone, often in a legal or formal context. In family law, it typically involves the time a non-custodial parent spends with their child. This arrangement is designed to maintain the parent-child relationship after separation or divorce.
In a broader context, visitation can also apply to various settings, such as hospitals or correctional facilities, where visitors are allowed to see patients or inmates. Rules and regulations often govern these visits to ensure safety and privacy for all parties involved.
