A: No. Your ex is obligated to follow the terms of the Shared Parenting Plan provided that Shared Parenting Plan was signed by all parties and adopted as an Order of the Court. If your ex is withholding parenting time to which you are entitled or otherwise violating the Shared Parenting Plan, then your remedy is to file a Motion to Show Cause with the court and ask the court for your ex to show cause for why they should not be held in contempt for their failure to abide by the terms.
