This is a right and obligation that falls upon the non-custodial parent or other relatives of a minor, established through a court order.
This right arises from a separation, annulment, or divorce.
Furthermore, this right is established in the best interest of the child, such as their right to maintain a relationship with their parents.
Regarding disabled adult children or emancipated children who require support in decision-making, the non-custodial parent may request, in the same annulment, separation, or divorce proceeding, that the manner in which the right described in the preceding paragraph will be exercised be established.
How is it regulated?
The judicial authority will determine the time, manner, and place in which the parent who does not have the minor children with them may exercise the right to visit, communicate with, and have them in their company.
Additionally, the judicial authority may limit or suspend the rights provided in the preceding paragraphs if relevant circumstances advise it or if the duties imposed by the court order are seriously or repeatedly breached.
Is it possible for another relative, besides the parents, to have this right?
The judicial authority may recognize the right of communication and visitation after hearing from the parents and from anyone who has requested it due to their status as a sibling, grandparent, relative, or associate of the minor or of the disabled adult who requires support in decision-making, provided they give their consent. The judicial authority will always resolve with the best interest of the minor or the wishes and preferences of the disabled adult in mind.
