A: If there is an order in place designating certain time to the father you need to follow that order until the court modifies it. While it is probably not in the order that father would get make up time, if he went back to court he would could get it unless you have a very good reason for denying him his ordered visitation. Your question appears that you just do not want him to have the time, without any reasoning as to why.

I obviously do not have all the facts, because there is certainly much more going on here, but based on just what you have indicated it would seem he should have the makeup time.
