What are the consequences if one parent violates an order concerning parental rights and responsibilities?
If one parent is in violation of an order, the other parent may petition the court for a hearing on the issue of non-compliance with the order. If the court finds that a party has violated a part of the order, the court may find a parent in contempt and may fashion an appropriate remedy, which could include a forfeiture of at least $100, additional visitation being provided for a parent who was wrongfully denied visitation, and a more specific visitation schedule between the parent and the children.
