Can a non-custodial parent be granted visitation even with a difficult custody history?

In some cases, New York courts support the child maintaining a relationship with both parents. A non-custodial parent may still be granted visitation rights unless the court finds substantial evidence that contact would place the child at risk. When concerns like domestic violence, substance abuse, or mental health issues are present, supervised or therapeutically supervised visitation may be ordered to support the child’s well-being.
