Typically? The right to visitation according to whatever plan the court lays out, and the responsibility to pay child support.
Other "rights" are often included in the court's order, such as the right to be informed of or take part in decisions related to medical care or education. There are lots of possibilities, but it will depend on what issues either side brings up. If several things have been points of contention in the past, the court may lay down some specifics on the situation. If things have been relatively smooth, there may not be much laid out at all. It depends on the specifics of your case, the issues involved, and what each side is seeking...PLUS what the court determines to be in the best interest of the child(ren) involved.

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.
