overnight visitation

Child stays over

Overnight visitation is a custody arrangement allowing a child to stay overnight with the noncustodial parent.

The term appears in divorce agreements, court orders, and family law discussions: The father was granted overnight visitation every other weekend.

Distinguished from daytime visits, overnight visitation typically includes evening routines, sleeping arrangements, and morning care.
