Basic facts


Wang and Chang were divorced by a court in 2014, and the parties agreed that Xiao Chang, the son born of marriage, would be raised by his father, Chang, and that Wang, the mother, would pay monthly support. For 10 years, Wang paid his son Xiao Chang's maintenance payments on schedule, but he never visited Xiao Chang because he remarried and had other children. Xiao Chang, now 12 years old, was eager for his mother's love, so he filed a lawsuit with the court, requesting his mother, Wang, to visit him.

The court heard


The court held that , after divorce , parents still have the right and obligation to support and educate their children . The right of visitation is not only the legal right of the party who does not directly raise the minor children after divorce, but also an important way to continue to fulfill the obligations of raising and caring for the minor children。From the perspective of minors' rights, article 24 of the Minors Protection Law explicitly guarantees the right of children to normal interaction with their parents, so the right to visit is both a right and a duty. Parents fulfil their educational responsibilities through visits, while children receive the affection and support they need for their healthy development through being visited. In the present case, Wang's visit to Xiao Chang not only meets the needs of family, but also helps her healthy growth.Considering the fact that Wang remarried and had other children, in order to balance the interests of all parties, the court, referring to the psychological development needs of minors, ruled that Wang should visit Xiao Chang's school once a month.


The judge interpreted the law


The dissolution of a marriage shall not cut off the emotional ties between parents and children。 Both the father and the mother should actively fulfill their obligations to support and educate their children after a divorce, and ensure the lawful rights and interests of their children through reasonable means to create a warm and harmonious environment for their children's growth.
The right to visit is not only a right of parents, but also an important way of caring for their children. Through visits, parents can learn about their children's life and learning and give them spiritual comfort. For children, it is also an important way to feel the love of their parents and make up for the absence of companionship. Parents should cooperate with each other to ensure the smooth realization of the right to visit, minimize the harm caused to the child by family disintegration, and allow the child to grow healthy under the joint nurturing of father and mother love.
