Talk:Visitation

I am not sure that visitation is not used in some European jurisdictions. Alex756


 * You may be right-it's "access" in the English law, and I think in the Scottish also. What I intended was to clarify that the article was based on US law, which although fairly obvious from the Canada reference was not actually stated at the outset. jimfbleak 14:51 May 12, 2003 (UTC)

I have followed this article from North Korean abduction of Japanese. Someone added that such issue is equivelant to Japanese women abducting their own children back to Japan. It appear that the person making the edit lost his kids. Though I sympatsised with his problem, I have deleted the edit. I realised that the same person is promoting his particular agenda over in Japanese and English Wikipedia and this was one of the page. FWBOarticle 06:24, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

agenda does not necessarily mean inappropriate information
Just because a person may have an "agenda", does not mean that it is inappropriate to add information about the related situation, as long as the information is accurate and presented well. In fact, if an agenda is something that motivates people to document topics, then it is a good thing. This is just one other aspect of the interest in a topic that may motivate someone to contribute valuable content to wikipedia. As far as this particular topic goes, there are other examples in wikipedia of giving country specific information, so I have created such a section here, and added the Japan specific information. In this topic, in relation to Japan, this is relevant. If you dont like the presentation, go ahead and fix it up ina more neutral manner. If you disagree with the content, say so, and update it with more accurate content. But it is not be appropriate to delete information just because, in your opinion, the contributor may have an agenda.Jpnwatch Aug 31, 2004.


 * No prob. I rewrote.  I specify what those court's visitation ruling exactly are. FWBOarticle

I appreciate the effort to reword, but it is more accurate to say that laws do not guarantee visitation than to say that courts do not recognize visitation as a right. Its a law thing, as the following US government source indicates.

Although visitation rights for non-custodial parents are not expressly stipulated in the Japanese Civil Code, court judgments often provide visitation rights for non-custodial parents.

Yes but in U.S. it is universally known as visitiation "right". In Japan, there is nothing of this sort. I don't think there is japanese word for visitation right yet. Is there?

Disambiguation
This page contained information on four topics. I have therefore converted it into a disambiguation page and transferred to material on the legal version of visitation to Access (law) which is, to the best of my knowledge, the majority international term. See talk page of Access (law).
