Is it illegal to keep child from father if you have joint legal custody?

While somewhat dependent on other factors, the short answer to this question is YES. If you have a court-orderedagreement entitling the child's father to certain visitation rights, any and all attempts to prevent, hinder or impair the father's ability or right to see his child would be seen as a direct violation of the agreement and would, in fact, be illegal. Violations of custody agreements are taken seriously and in addition to being fined or held in contempt, the child's father can use these violations as a basis to request full custody of the child.
