American English Equivalent
visitation

Definition 
Term used in matrimonial law, referring to the rights of the parent without custody to visit the children of the marriage. See a different usage in except for access; and note an unrelated use in Access, the name of a credit card formerly issued by Lloyds Bank Limited.

Staying access means 'temporary custody,' as when the party with visitation rights is authorized to have the minor child stay with him or her for limited periods, e.g., during every other weekend or on certain holidays.
