Denial of Child Visitation
LegalMatch Law Library Managing Editor, Ken LaMance, Attorney at Law 
What Can I Do if I'm Denied Visitation?
The custodial parent sometimes interferes with child visitation and forces the non-custodial parent to seek alternative ways to maintain the parent-child relationship. For the non-custodial parent whose right has been denied there are mild, moderate and severe enforcements of the right to visitation.
- Mild enforcements are: filing a police report, modifying the visitation judgment to exactly specify the time and place of visitation, award make-up visitation and family therapy or mediation
- Moderate enforcements are: supervised visitation, having a third party responsible for overseeing visitation and award of attorney's fees
- Severe enforcements are: contempt proceedings, court permission to withhold child support, change of custody and suing the other parent for hindering visitation
