Father has visitation rights now, but would like more time. Mother try to keep child away from father. Won't let father pick up child until she is ready to let him go. Visitation time are in the visitation schedule signed by Judge; again it does not matter to mother.

A: If the mother does not comply with the court order, the remedy is to take her to court for contempt.

If he can show that it is in child's best interests, father may request a new parenting plan which gives him more parenting time.
