A COMPARISON OF THE RIGHT TO VISIT CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE Introduction A good relationship between parents and their children is crucial to their development. Parents have both responsibilities and rights that they can exercise over their children. Michele Waldron writes, “Parents have legal rights and responsibilities towards their children. It is critical for parents to give their children with basic essentials such as clothes, food, housing, medical care, and education until they are old enough to fly on their own. Furthermore, they emphasize social and emotional nurturing so that their children can grow to be empathetic and responsible Background members of society. It is the primary obligation of both the mother and father, whether they live separately or together, depending on the customary arrangement. In addition to visiting rights, each party must do specific tasks to support the children. As per this argument, for a parent to meet their responsibilities and exercise their parental rights, it is necessary to uphold the non-custodial parent’s visitation rights. It can be affirmed that the provisions on the rights of parents after divorce, in general, and the visitation rights, in particular, are, in fact, a concretization of the requirements and principles Dr. Nguyen Thi Bao Anh *1 , Lam Ba Khanh Toan 2 Can Tho University, Vietnam English Department, Faculty of Humanities, Andalas University, Indonesia ABSTRACT Children’s development often mainly depends on their parent’s behavior and relationship. As a result, when parents’ divorce, the parenting role will be divided and changed in the legal and implementation aspects. One of the solutions provided by law to contribute to “narrowing” the gap after the divorce between parents and children is visitation rights. Albeit clear and specific legal provisions, when applied in practice, visitation rights are not easily exercised and even, in many cases, are obstructed by the custodial parent.
