Best Answer

The mother has primary residential custody. However, the father has visitation rights which are likely set forth in a visitation schedule and he has the right to be included in any important decisions that affect the child. The father should review any documents related to his case including a separation agreement, visitation schedule, child support order and custody order.

A father with joint legal custody has the right to be included in all important decisions regarding his child. He also has a right to a visitation schedule that must be followed by the custodial parent.
