Violation of a visitation schedule has been subject to contempt in some courts. Typically a court will order make up visitation and may order attorney fees and costs. Persistent violations have been the basis for greater sanctions. Please consult a local Family Law attorney in your jurisdictions to find out how the courts and maybe even your specific judge has been handling these matters.
