What is parenting time interference?

The bonds between parents and their children are often strong and easily endure challenges and hardships. However, life events like divorce can put strains on those connections and create difficulties for individuals in changing personal relationships. A divorce between California parents does not release them from their responsibilities to their kids, but, in some cases, divorced parents can struggle to find balance with the time they and their exes share with the children.

When conflicts arise in the context of child custody and visitation, parents may seek the intervention of the courts to help them restore order into their kids’ lives. Additionally, if a parent believes that the other parent is interfering with their parenting time, they may elect to find out more about the law and how it can help them. Attorneys who practice family law are well-suited to advise parents in this difficult situation.

Parenting time interference occurs when a parent disrupts the time the other parent has with the child. Such interference can directly affect this time, such as when a parent fails to drop a child off for a custody switch or scheduled visitation time. It can also be indirect, such as when a parent attempts to influence a child to avoid their other parent with negative comments or suggestions.

Divorce is hard on all members of a family, and parenting time interference can make the process even more difficult. Legal help can guide some parents to productive solutions, so they can address instances of interference and protect their relationships with their children.
