Parenting time enforcement is the process of asking the court to remedy violations of an existing parenting time order. When a parent consistently denies, interferes with, or frustrates the other parent's court-ordered time an enforcement petition asks the court to step in.

Enforcement remedies include make-up parenting time, civil contempt findings, attorney fee awards, modification of the parenting plan, and in extreme cases changes to the primary parenting arrangement.

Document every violation before filing an enforcement petition. Dates, what was supposed to happen, what actually happened, any communications about the violation. A pattern of documented violations is far more persuasive than general allegations of ongoing interference.
