Ex isn't living up to the visitation schedule

Because children are involved in access arrangements, Courts will not order a parent to take care of his children if the parent is not interested in doing so. Asking the court to force the other parent to abide by the access schedule is not an option in this type of case. However, child support as well as certain government benefits are calculated using the actual amount of time a parent spends with his or her children. If the ex-spouse is not abiding by the agreement or court order, the remedy is to have the court change the access rights or at the very minimum, penalize the parent who is not respecting the access rights by establishing the support payable on actual access time.
