Is there any legal precident involving forcing a custodial parent to meet half way for visitations?

The non-custodial parent really cannot *force* the custodial parent to do anything.





Always refer back to the divorce decree--everything should be spelled out in there. If there is something that is not covered, then speak with a family lawyer for in-depth answers since the laws vary from State to State.Is there any legal precident involving forcing a custodial parent to meet half way for visitations?
The only legal precedent is what is outlined in the custody papers you received from the court. If it says you meet half way, then they must meet you half way. If it doesn't, they don't have to.Is there any legal precident involving forcing a custodial parent to meet half way for visitations?
What do you mean ';legal precedent';? Would this not have been something agreed to in the divorce/custody agreement? That's not ';legal precedent'; that's a binding legal agreement.
When parents cannot reach an agreement on the logistics of visitation, they can ask the courts to step in and issue an order. Meeting half way is a common order.
As posted, it is usually Judge ordered.
