The non-custodial parent's visitation right isn't a social suggestion; it's a court judgment with full enforceable force before the Enforcement Court when refused. Many practical disputes arise from the affected party not knowing that refusing to implement a visitation judgment has real statutory consequences, not just a family disagreement left unaddressed.
When the custodian refuses to allow the other party the visitation set by the judgment, the affected party may file an enforcement request before the Enforcement Court, which holds escalating powers to address repeated refusal, potentially reaching disciplinary measures or modifying the custody arrangement itself if it's shown the custodian is using visitation denial as a recurring pressure tool, not an occasional exception.
A vague visitation judgment (without specifying days, times, and a defined handover location) opens the door to recurring disputes over interpretation. Drafting the judgment or agreement with precise details from the start (specific days, hours, handover mechanism in case of timing disagreement) considerably reduces the chances of recurring disputes later.
