        Just curious, what do the the courts do to enforce access? Are there ever any real consequences of not allowing access?

          Eventually... but it takes a long time, with many warnings dispensed by the court. There was a case where a judge mused about why there was no version of FRO for access. The reality is though that when it comes to parenting time enforcement, you are on your own.

          That said, the only route is through court. You must document, and bring your case to court. At first not much will happen, anticipate that you will have to go to court multiple times for multiple different violations before anything begins to change.

          I would say to self-represent, but you want to hit the gatekeeping parent with costs, and it helps to have lawyer fees to make sure that there are costs to be paid. Insist that your lawyer sends an offer to settle almost immediately, for something slightly less than your court ordered parenting time.
