A criminal arrest doesn't necessarily abridge most parental rights even in situations where a court order is in effect. Typically, arrests and criminal convictions are used to show personal character and parental fitness in Family Court. Remember, the court is not looking for the best parent - they are looking for the most fit (stability, available resources, and moral character).
However, if the child was present during the criminal act that led to an arrest, parental rights can be temporarily and/or permanently suspended including visitation rights if the court believes there to be an apparent risk of harm to the child.
So a minor marijuana possession offense is less likely to result in modification of any type of visitation orders than a raid where 2 Kilos of Cocaine and several firearms were discovered in your possession.
