Divorce Counseling 30/01/2026
After divorce, a common concern among parents is whether a father or mother may obstruct the right to visit a child. Although a marital relationship may come to an end, parental responsibilities and emotional bonds with children remain unchanged. In practice, many disputes arise when a parent who directly raises a child attempts to limit or prevent visitation by the other parent, thereby negatively affecting lawful rights and interests of the child.
Divorce Counseling 11/08/2025
After a divorce, disputes over child visitation rights often arise, particularly in cases involving what is unilateral divorce. Vietnamese law ensures that the non-custodial parent retains the right to visit and maintain a bond with the child unless the court restricts it. Common conflicts include denial of visits, irregular contact, schedule disagreements, and parental alienation. A useful preparation file connects the legal request with the child’s actual circumstances: daily care, housing, education, relationships and support. The parents’ positions should be supported by records rather than assumptions about gender, nationality or income alone.
