Protect Your Rights Under the Law in New York State
When one parent interferes with the visitation rights of the other parent or violates a custody order after a divorce or separation, it can adversely affect the children involved. When a violation of a custody order occurs, it is important to pursue legal remedies with an experienced attorney and protect your rights against the actions of your ex-spouse or ex-partner. These violations should not be ignored or they could lead to further interference.

Violations of Visitation and Custody Orders
If someone takes or withholds a child from a parent who has the right to custody, visitation or other parental rights, the affected parent has legal remedies. Those who violate these orders can be held in contempt of court, may be fined and may lose rights to visitation or custody, depending on the discretion of the court.
Examples of these violations include:
- Failure to release children for scheduled time with the other parent, including holidays
- Scheduling burdensome activities and events during someone else's parenting time
- Being late or early for scheduled visits
- Unauthorized relocation with the child
- Unlawful contact with the child
The courts usually prefer that both parents have contact with their children, unless one of the parents is unfit, and the law looks harshly upon parental alienation and visitation interference. Our lawyers can help you explain how these violations have occurred and will work hard to assert and reestablish your parental rights.
