Because executing a court order is sometimes just the beginning — not the end — of the battle.
Visitation – Regulating the non-custodial parent’s right to maintain contact with their children under the law
Following divorce or separation, the right of one parent to see their children remains a fundamental legal right—one that cannot be denied except by an exceptional court ruling.
This right is one of the most vital safeguards legislated to ensure the continuity of the parent-child bond, preserving the child’s emotional and psychological balance.
At Al Wasl Law Firm, we manage visitation cases as regulated legal entitlements, not as tools for conflict or leverage. We pursue these cases with a balanced legal approach that protects the rights of the non-custodial parent, while ensuring that the child’s best interests and emotional well-being are not harmed.
Legal Framework for Visitation
According to Egyptian law, “the non-custodial parent has the right to visit the minor child”, and such visitation must be organized for no less than three hours weekly in an appropriate setting that prioritizes the child’s well-being.
The court has the discretion to determine the timing and location based on the circumstances and the child’s best interest, without subjecting the child to stress or psychological harm.
Our Visitation Services Include:
• Filing lawsuits on behalf of the non-custodial parent to establish or regulate visitation rights
• Filing requests to enforce existing visitation judgments, and following up with the competent prosecution office
• Initiating legal actions in cases of denial, obstruction, or abuse of visitation rights
• Requesting changes in visitation locations that are found to be psychologically or socially unsuitable
• Applying for virtual or remote visitation in cases involving international separation, travel, or health/safety concerns
• Filing for temporary or extended custody during vacations or special circumstances if clear benefit for the child is established
Our Principles in Managing Visitation Files:
1. Balancing Rights and Interests: The non-custodial parent has a clear right to visitation, but it must be exercised with care, never at the expense of the child’s emotional stability.
2. Focus on Practical Execution: Securing a court order is not enough;it must be implementable in a peaceful, practical manner, considering time, location, and emotional impact.
3. Encouraging Amicable Agreements: When both parties are willing, we facilitate a structured, written visitation agreement for legal approval, helping to avoid litigation altogether.
4. Firm Response to Obstruction: We pursue legal actions against custodial parents who intentionally block or sabotage visitation, and we seek modifications or legal sanctions if needed.
Visitation & Geographical Distance
We recognize that distance between the child’s residence and the non-custodial parent often complicates visitation.
Thus, we offer flexible legal solutions, such as:
• Filing for remote visitation when travel or residence abroad makes in-person contact difficult
• Requesting visitation in alternative, closer venues to accommodate the non-custodial parent
• Organizing “expanded visitation” during school holidays or extended periods to make up for limited weekly visits
We handle visitation cases with a disciplined legal approach, one that respects both parties’ legal positions, and focuses on preserving the human connection between child and parent.
We believe that separation should not mean severance, and that the law is meant to regulate post-divorce family life — not dismantle it entirely.
Supervised Execution of Visitation & Child Transfer Orders
At Al Wasl Law Firm, we recognize that visitation and custody transfer orders are not always implemented smoothly.
Securing a favorable ruling doesn’t guarantee compliance — especially in the face of resistance, evasion, or manipulation.
That’s why we offer a dedicated service for the full supervision of court order execution — ensuring the child’s protection first, and the client’s peace of mind second.
What Does This Service Include?
On-site Support during Visitation or Custody Transfers
We accompany you during court-ordered visitation at youth centers or designated locations, and we draft official reports in cases of obstruction, delays, or tampering with location and time.
Monitoring Repeated Execution of Ongoing Orders
For weekly or recurring visitation, we provide continuous oversight to ensure consistent implementation.
We generate a series of official reports documenting whether the other party complies or deliberately obstructs — critical evidence for future requests to amend custody or visitation rights.
Requests to Relocate Visitation Sites or Adjust Timing
If the existing venue is unsafe or psychologically unsuitable for the child, we file a well-documented petition to amend the order, ensuring that the alternative venue meets emotional and developmental standards.
Compulsory Enforcement of Custody Transfer Judgments
If a court orders a child transfer and the other party refuses to comply, we initiate forced execution procedures through court bailiffs with police support , all while ensuring that the child’s emotional well-being is preserved throughout the process.
Why Choose Al Wasl for This Service?
• Because we represent you inside and outside the courtroom
• Because we turn court orders into real-world results
• Because we document, advocate, and persist — until the very end
Executing visitation or custody transfer is not a favor It is a full legal right that deserves complete protection
