Use the wording in context
California Courts uses both visitation and parenting time in its guide to care arrangements. Other jurisdictions may use different language. Look up unfamiliar terms in the resources that apply where your case is handled.
Find the practical instructions
Check the dates, exchange location, transport, and any conditions that apply. Do not infer that an arrangement is supervised, unrestricted, or a particular percentage from the label alone.
Write readable calendar entries
Use the child’s name when needed and identify the responsible adult. Add the agreed dates and times to CoFam so the schedule is easy to check.
Which label should I use in everyday planning?
Use language your family understands while keeping the formal document’s meaning clear.
Can CoFam supervise or certify a visit?
No. It is a planning and recordkeeping app.
