Abuse Using Technology

Virtual visitation is the term used to describe parents using video calls to “visit” with their children. This could be done through Zoom, FaceTime, or other technology. Some states have laws that specifically allow a judge to order virtual visitation as part of a custody order. Virtual visits can be used to maintain the child’s relationship with the non-custodial parent between in-person visits or can be ordered if physical visitation isn’t safe.
