Contempt of Court Order - This is the order that gives the noncustodial parent whom already has specified days and times for exchanges, drop-off and pick-up definite help. If the visitation and/or custody order is violated, and the court must decide whether the contempt was intentional or not, which the noncustodial parent believes to be malicious, then a contempt of court order can be filed. Keep in mind I'm not an attorney, however I will give you the information I have experienced directly or indirectly, and researched. Just like in any court case where you are attempting to prove the other parties guilt, have proof. A lot of times just having your children to say that the other parent won't let them visit doesn't hold a lot of bearing. The court is not going to want to put these children through unnecessary stress.

Don't feel like your case is shot to the four winds because it isn't. You still have options. If you have to get a police report stating that the custodial parent hasn't brought the children for visitation, then do so. If you have multiple police reports or individuals stating that the children are not being allowed to visit, then you have proof and witnesses. The court will either enforce, sanctions or warnings in extreme cases loss of custody and possible jail time for the other parent withholding the child from ordered visits. So I advise that custodial parents be very careful in the risks their taking under malicious intent, and the noncustodial parents that feel as though their rights are being purposely stolen have means to enforce the law.
