Add Text Field To Legal Missouri Visitation Forms For Free

A Missouri custody (parenting) plan is a document that parents must file with the court?either jointly or individually?within 30 days after filing a motion or petition involving custody of a minor child. However, the courts may extend the 30-day period at their discretion.

The legislation was signed by Governor Parson on July 6, 2023, making 50/50 custody the default in child custody matters, with the presumption that it is in the best interests of the child. The new law takes effect August 28, 2023.

Speak with your child about why they don't want to visit. Approach the conversation from a position of understanding while still impressing upon them the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with the co-parent. Allow them to express any feelings or concerns they may have without judgment.

Technically, not until your child is 18. At that point, they are an adult under Missouri law and can do what they want. If your child is younger, however, you have a right to see them. Unfortunately, there might be obstacles.

You must be pre-approved to visit. To be considered for visiting, please complete the visiting application thoroughly and honestly, using the instructions provided. A criminal history check will be conducted. Failure to be honest and transparent may result in denial of visiting privileges.

If the question is ?when can a child legally refuse visitation??, the short answer is ?never.? Missouri law does not provide a procedure for a child to decline parenting time. That said, situations may occur when it would not be in a child's best interests to have visitation with a parent.

Ing to Missouri statutes, a child cannot decide which parent she wants to live with until she is 18. However, one of the factors that a Judge must consider is the wishes of a child as to the child's custodian.
