Child Visitation Enforcement Steps

Summary

In Illinois, if a child refuses visitation and the other parent is not encouraging compliance, the non-custodial parent cannot be criminally charged. However, you can document each instance of non-compliance, communicate with the other parent in writing, and consult with an attorney to explore legal options. You may need to file a motion in court to enforce the visitation order or seek mediation to resolve the issue. Modifying the visitation order might also be necessary.
