If visitation would not be in the best interest of the child, this will not be given. Child visitation orders must be made based on serious regard to the child's health, safety, and welfare. The court will also take into consideration the child's age, maturity, and any special needs. When examining the non-custodial parent for visitation rights, the court will base the decision on the parent's proximity to the child's primary residence.
