Karnataka High Court swaps 'visitation' for 'parenting time' in custody cases
Original: Karnataka HC replaces ‘visitation’ with ‘parenting time’ in child custody cases
The Karnataka High Court has directed that the term 'visitation' be replaced with 'parenting time' in child custody matters. The change reframes the non-custodial parent's contact with a child as an ongoing parental role rather than a visit, reflecting a shift in how courts view post-separation parenting. The move is being noted as a significant terminology reform in Indian family law.
Why now: A High Court's formal change in custody terminology signals a shift in family law thinking that affects parents and lawyers.
