Protect Your Visitation Rights in New York
No child should be prevented from seeing his or her parents. When one parent interferes with your child custody arrangement or visitation rights, it is important to enforce those rights in a court of law with an experienced attorney by your side. A parent who ignores or abuses another parents visitation rights may be held in contempt by the court, possibly triggering fines and other penalties, including the loss of that parent's own custody and visitation rights.
The attorneys at the Long Island, New York, law firm of Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C., can help you uphold your rights in cases of interference with visitation and joint child custody. During child custody disputes, it is important to use the original joint child custody agreement to hold your ex-spouse or ex-partner accountable. You can also seek to modify your child custody arrangement if it would provide the best solution for you and your children going forward.

Examples of Interference With Visitation Rights
Sometimes interference with visitation rights is accidental and happens due to simple mistakes or scheduling errors. Other times, it is an intentional act designed to prevent a parent from seeing the child or children. In either case, unless an emergency situation arises, the court will not accept excuses if court orders are being violated.
Examples of interference include:
- Not delivering children at schedule times and/or scheduled days, including arriving late or early
- Denying visitation rights due to scheduling conflicts or scheduling burdensome activities during scheduled parenting time
- Leaving the state without permission
- Preventing a parent from seeing his or her child
- Showing up during the other parent's scheduled visitation
If your rights have been violated, seek the help of a lawyer. Never go and pick up the child yourself, as you may be subjected to arrest. Instead, seek legal remedies that will allow you to protect your rights and uphold the court order.
