If one parent refuses to comply with court-ordered visitation in India, it is treated as a violation of a judicial order, and the other parent can seek enforcement through the court.
Key points:
- Court-ordered visitation is legally binding, and both parents must follow it.
- If one parent denies access to the child, the affected parent can file an execution petition or contempt petition in court.
- The court may issue warnings, modify visitation terms, or enforce stricter arrangements.
- In serious cases of repeated violation, the court may change custody or impose penalties for non-compliance.
- The court always prioritizes the welfare and emotional well-being of the child while handling such disputes.
- Police assistance may also be directed by the court to ensure compliance in extreme cases.
