A quick definition of residential time:

Residential time is when a child gets to spend time with a relative, like a parent or grandparent. Sometimes, a court decides how much time the child can spend with the relative. This is called visitation. If the court thinks the child might not be safe with the relative, they might order supervised visitation, where someone else has to be there too. Stepped-up visitation is when the child starts spending a little time with the relative and then more as they get to know each other better.

A more thorough explanation:

Residential time refers to the period of time that a noncustodial parent or relative has access to a child. It is also known as parental access, parenting time, or visitation.

  • A divorced father may have residential time with his children every other weekend.
  • A grandparent may be granted court-approved residential time with their grandchild.
  • Stepped-up residential time may be granted to a parent who has been absent from their child's life, starting with limited visits and gradually increasing as the child becomes more comfortable.
  • Supervised residential time may be ordered by a court if there are concerns about the safety of the child during visits with a parent or relative.

These examples illustrate how residential time can vary depending on the circumstances and may be granted or restricted based on the best interests of the child.
