Legal Question in Family Law in New York

visitation

If you are granted visitation with your child, and miss a scheduled visit, are you in violation of the court order? Are you court ordered to see your child, or are you granted opportunity? (Of course I want to see my child, it's not like it sounds, BUT I missed a visit due to confusion with his mother, and now she is claiming I am in violation) Can you violate visitation if it was granted to you? I know it would make you look bad to not see your child, but if you want to and just missed a chance, is that a violation?

Re: visitation

Generally, the answer is no. If you miss one visitation the court will usually not hold you in contempt.
