    Default Having Contact With a Child Who is a Ward of the State Outside of Visitation

    If a child is in foster care due to the mother's neglect and the father's inability to provide a home, with the parents having scheduled visitation, can the father still see the child at other times? The father has been attending the child's sports events and now the child's case worker is saying that the contact at sports events may be visitation. There is nothing in the court order that says that the father cannot see the child outside of scheduled visits.

    Default Re: Having Contact With a Child Who is a Ward of the State Outside of Visitation

    If the child is in foster care, then the parents should be represented by lawyers and their lawyers can advise them as to their rights.

    When a child is in foster care and a visitation schedule is ordered by the court, sometimes visitation is coordinated with the child's extracurricular events. That is, it is possible for the convenience of all parties involved to have a visit occur before or after a child's sporting event or similar activity rather than arranging a visit at another time and place. The issue may be that if the parent is present at the sports events, the case worker wants to simplify the issue of visitation by having the sport events treated as visits under the court's visitation order.
