Yes. The custodial parent is required to obey the court order or face sanctions that may eventually include loss of custody. The non-custodial parent must stay on top of the situation and file a motion for contempt of a court order. It is extremely difficult to contend with a non-compliant parent and the most difficulty is experienced by the child. Courts do not take that type of behavior lightly.

No. The police do not generally become involved in visitation issues. One very good reason being they do not have access to current court files and current court orders. If a visitation order has been issued by the court, the non-custodial parent must return to court if the custodial parent refuses to obey that order. They should file a motion for contempt. Continued refusal to obey a visitation order could result in the custodial parent losing custody.

Yes she most certainly can, especially in Indiana. Indiana state law says that until a child has reached the age of 18 they do not have the right to decide whether they are going to visit the non custodial parent. They must adhere to visitation guidelines or the custodial parent will face contempt charges and possibly face fines or even jail time.
