Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: what can I do about visitation

When a judge must decide which parent should have custody of a child, the decision is based on what is in the best interest of the child. The judge will not award custody to one parent as a punishment to the other parent for some conduct, if in the final analysis the judge believes the child will be better off with the parent who presently has custody. That is not to say that denial of visitation would not be taken seriously. Judges view violations of court orders seriously, and will not hesitate to impose sanctions for their violations. And in a close case, such conduct could conceivably tip the balance in your favor.
