The Judge or Mediator will specifically state the "terms" of what each party should and should not do. For example, if the Court gives visitation to the father every Wednesday evening, and every weekend from 7p.m. Friday night until 7p.m. Sunday night, that outlines when the father may see/visit/pick up his children. But, it also implies what the mother will do: allow visitation to occur without interference at those times. As well, the Court should not have to say "if your visitation is until 7p.m. we should not have to tell you that the child must be returned by 7 p.m., not after".

So read your Court Order. Make a Xerox Copy of it and on the Xerox highlight everything you should do. Write it out on a piece of paper in your own words, to be sure you understand. Ask your attorney to explain anything you do not understand.

Never change the Court's Order without having the Court put it in writing. Problems arise when two people agree privately to do X,Y,and Z, but no one has officially put those new "terms" in writing.

*** IMPORTANT -- Most parents misunderstand the visitation versus child support. The two are separate issues. Support MUST be paid -- always. The child/ren must eat, have clothing, pay for school supplies. The custodial parent cannot withhold visitation simply because he or she did not receive the support. The non-custodial parent cannot stop paying support, even if the custodial parent "won't let me see my kids". Instead, these two issues must be kept separate. Non-custodial parents are not paying support for the right to see their kids; custodial parents cannot punish the other parent by withholding support if the support is not paid.

Can you leave your daughter with your new wife while you have to work during your weekend visitation?

That depends on state law where you reside and the terms of your visitation agreement. Your ex or the court may have to approve such an arrangement. After all, the visitation is for you, not your new spouse. It might be a better option for everyone involved to change the weekend of your visitation if your ex is cooperative. If not and you don't have time to petition the court, there might be some negative fallout. Cover your bases.

What if you are divorced now and want to see you kids but the mother suffers from Parental alienation syndrome and want let you see the kids without her there?

I do not understand how she could legally could do this. Your settlement agreement should have some visitation allowed. If it does, you can enforce visitation, if the agreement does not allow you to have visitation, you either did something wrong or you sign a lopsided agreement that you will now need to contest. Good Luck

If a parent's normal visitation is interrupted by a holiday are they entitled to make up the lost visitation time?

Custodial issues are determined by the terms of the original or amended custodial/visitation court order. If the order does not specify the terms of such issues as holidays, it is up to the primary custodial parent (the one whom the child resides) to decide when or if visitation should occur.
