The right of
first refusal is a term in contract law that gives its holder the option
to enter a business transaction with the owner of something, according to
specified terms, before the owner is entitled to enter into that transaction
with a third party. In brief, the right of first refusal is similar in concept
to a call option.
This related
to family law in the child custody context. If there is a right of first
refusal placed in your child custody order or parenting plan, this means that
if the child is with you during your visitation or custodial time share and you
cannot watch the child for a length of time, you are to call the other parent
and give that parent the right to watch the child prior to getting a third
person to watch the child.
The right of
first refusal to watch the child can be worded many different ways and can be
intended to reduce the need for day care services or to maximize the time the
parents have with the children over none-parents.
The right of
first refusal can create conflicts between parents too, and can be subject to
modification if it is in the child's best interest.
