Time Sharing Violation Consequences

Summary

In Florida, failure to adhere to a time-sharing schedule can be considered a violation. Consistent non-participation, such as not showing up for 6 months, may justify modifying the agreement. You can file a motion for enforcement or contempt in the Florida court that issued the original order. The court may enforce the existing order or modify the agreement, with penalties for the violating parent potentially including make-up time, fines, or other sanctions. Consider seeking legal advice to understand the process and your options.
