Visitation & Parenting Time Attorneys on Long Island
Negotiate Your Parenting Time Schedule with Help from The Law Office of David W. Teeter
When determining custody arrangements, separating parents will also have to draft a parenting time schedule. This schedule outlines when each parent will have physical custody or visitation time with the children. A parenting time schedule can be arranged and agreed on by the parents or left to the court to create.
Understandably, each parent usually wants to retain as much parenting time as possible. This can lead to heated debates and disagreements over parenting time schedules. At The Law Office of David W. Teeter, we can help you negotiate a schedule that achieves your goals while reflecting your child’s best interests. Our Long Island parenting time attorneys have the negotiation and litigation skills needed to ensure a positive result at the end of your case.

Visitation in New York
Typically, one parent is deemed the “custodial parent,” meaning that the children primarily reside with that parent, while the other parent – known as the “non-custodial” parent – would have visitation or parenting time with the children.
A non-custodial parent might have parenting time:
- Every other weekend, from Friday after school until Sunday evening
- For a midweek visit for dinner, and possibly overnight
- Half of holiday and vacation times (split evenly between the parties)
- For two weeks of uninterrupted time during the summer
Changing a Visitation Schedule
To modify the visitation schedule, you must file the petition for child custody modification. Both you and the child's other parent will bring the case to a hearing with a judge present. The judge will then make a decision, based on the circumstances, to determine whether or not the modification will suit the child's well-being.

Jennifer B,
Garden City, NY
Mr. Teeter has been my attorney for the past 3 years and I could not have managed without him. He fought and ultimately won my child custody case for which I will be forever grateful. Mr. Teeter always responds promptly to all of my questions/requests...no matter how big or small. I was extremely lucky to find wise counsel as well as someone to keep me grounded during some of the hardest times of my life. Thank you so much!

Shlomi Cohen,
Garden City, NY
I went through a difficult and challenging divorce. David was very helpful from the first meeting and walked me through this stressful time. David managed to settle my case in a way that I never believed would be possible. I share joint custody with my son's mother and I couldn't be happier and more grateful for this result!
