Child custody and visitation may be determined in one of two primary ways: by parents reaching their own agreement in an uncontested or collaborative divorce, or by a judge making a ruling on these matters in the family courtroom in a contested divorce. When the court is involved, child custody and visitation arrangements are made in accordance with the child's best interests. Typically, the court will try to keep both parents involved unless this is actually detrimental to the child's wellbeing, such as in a case involving child abuse, domestic violence or drug abuse. If one parent is awarded primary custody of a child, the non-custodial parent may receive visitation rights. In some cases, grandparents may seek visitation rights as well, although this situation is relatively uncommon.
