Sorry to be unhelpful but you (or the person you're helping) really, really should consult a solicitor. Visitation rights can be a total nightmare - often you are subject to the whims of your local health board/social workers. It might cost a bit, but it'll be worth it in the end. Good luck.

Try the parenting section of boards.

There a a links to a lot sites with information that may be of help.

But formal offical viatiations rights are often mediated with the fmily mediation service or through the family law courts

It may be upsetting - and I'm damned sure it's upsetting, but the court looks at things from the point of view of what's best for the child.
If courts prevented fathers from having access to their children because they committed adultery, however appalling it is, then there'd be one hell of a lot of fathers AND mothers with no access to their children.
A court will only refuse access if there is a risk to the child. I can't see a court doing this on the grounds that the father dumped the mother for the sister, however much a bastard he is.

And in my opinion a child should not be denied his/her parent on these grounds.
