<p><strong><em>Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years</em></strong></p>



<p>Visitation rules exist for a reason, and violating them, even unintentionally, can get your visitation rights revoked.</p>



<p>A few things to keep in mind:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Don’t bring or accept anything from your loved one. Even passing a small item can be treated as contraband.</li>



<li>Don’t agree to deliver messages to people outside the facility on their behalf.</li>



<li>Don’t do favors that could put you or them in a difficult position.</li>
</ul>



<p>Pay attention. If you notice signs that your loved one is being mistreated, changes in mood, unexplained injuries, or fear, speak up. You can report concerns anonymously.</p>



<p>Your visit matters to them. Protect it by knowing the rules. And if your loved one’s rights are being violated, we’re here to help.</p>
