Abstract :Divorce rates in Turkey have increased over the years and the number of children subject to custody after divorce rise rapidly. Courts decide whether a child whose custody is given to one of his parents should establish a personal relationship with the other parent. Children with divorced parents need to meet with their parents. Additionally, the right of the parent who lost custody to establish personal contact and meeting with his child is a right provided by the court. The process of meeting parents who have lost custody with their children cannot be done in a healthy way due to the problems experienced between divorced parents. Based on this problem, this study addressing the purpose of establishment and functioning of Child Visitation Centers established in Turkey in 2022, is to present a conceptual framework and make suggestions for implementation
