What do you think reasonable child visitation would be if the non-custodial parent lives 3 hours away?

Question

I spoke with the father of my unborn child last night and asked him how much visitation he wanted. He did not give me a clue. He'll be living 3 hours away by the time the child is born. I have not dealt with the situation where the father wants visitation. What do you guys think???

Answer 1

Unless you are talking about a 3 hour flight I do not see how it makes a differance.

While the baby is little you will be breast feeding so he obviously can not take the child over night.   I would have him come every weekend for a few hours.

Once the baby is weaned he should have full weekends every other weekend and maybe a visit during the week.

Answer 2

I agree with baby b. every weekend or every other weekend

Answer 3

Wel if you are okay with him, then let it be whenever he has the time to come down!

Or perhaps every weekend?

Just be thankful he is willing to come see and help support the baby!
