One of the biggest challenges for divorced or separated parents can be child access, also known as visitation. No matter what the two parents, think about each other, they both need to always keep in mind that it is important for the children to see them behave respectfully to each other. It is important for the parents to cooperate with one another in order to make sure that the children get to spend enough time with both parents that a healthy relationship can continue even after divorce.
f a more fixed schedule of access is denied. The judge is still more likely to revise the order and try to fine tune it. Before taking more drastic actions to enforce its terms. Usually it is only when this kind of fine tuning fails and the judge sees the parents continuing the fight over access that more serious steps will be considered.
This is unfortunate of course, because it means that the parent who has been denied access has to incur the financial and emotional costs of repeated trips to court before a judge will actually “do something” about the other parent’s refusal to abide by the terms of access. Also, repeated court appearances take time, and meanwhile the children are being denied the opportunities the access is supposed to provide to build and maintain a strong relationship with the access parent.
