Custody agreements are legal contracts—both parents have to follow them. But if your ex is blocking your visitation, ignoring the plan, or making decisions behind your back, it’s a violation of your rights as a father. At Reel Fathers Rights, we help dads enforce custody orders and stay connected to their kids.
Common Custody Agreement Violations
Your ex might be breaking the rules if they:
- ❌ Block your scheduled time with your kids.
- ❌ Skip agreed pick-ups or drop-offs.
- ❌ Decide on school or doctor visits without you.
- ❌ Trash-talk you to your child (aka parental alienation).
- ❌ Hide updates about your kid’s life.
Even small slip-ups can pile up, hurting your bond with your child. Don’t let it slide.
Steps to Fight Custody Violations
Take control with these steps:
- Document Everything
Build your case with:
- 📅 Dates and times of missed visits.
- 📩 Texts, emails, or voicemails showing interference.
- 👀 Witnesses who saw it happen.
Solid proof wins in court.
- Talk It Out (If You Can)
Try a calm chat with your ex first—courts like when parents sort things out. But if they keep breaking the rules, move on. - File to Enforce the Order
Ask the court to step in. A judge could:
- ⚖️ Force your ex to follow the plan.
- 💰 Fine them for messing up.
- 🕒 Give you extra time to make up for lost visits.
Persistent issues? Push for bigger changes.
- Request a Custody Change
If violations won’t stop, ask for more custody. Show:
- 📂 Proof of repeated, deliberate violations.
- 🏡 Why the current setup fails your kid.
- ⚖️ How your plan offers stability.
- File for Contempt
For serious breaches, hit them with a contempt motion. Possible outcomes:
- 🚨 Fines or penalties.
- 🚨 Parenting classes.
- 🚨 Jail time (rare, but real).

False accusations? Fight back:
- 📁 Prove you’ve followed the rules—keep records.
