Does a parent who is serving a prison sentence still have a right to see his/her minor child, even in jail ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 03 May, 2022Yes. As long as a non-custodial parent is not stripped of his/her role as the minor’s natural guardian he/she is still jointly responsible with the custodial parent for certain functions including emotional development and must act in the child’s good. Being imprisoned does not deprive a non-custodial parent of his/her rights as a minor’s natural guardian.
