Can a custodial parent be fined for not allowing the non-custodial parent to exercise visitation rights according to a court judgment ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 06 June, 2022Yes ! the Family Court held that a mother, the custodian, would be fined 1,500 shekels each time she stopped the minors’ father from exercising his visitation rights. The father, who had visitation rights set in a court judgment, had applied for them to be enforced and brought action for contempt of court, after the mother had consistently interfered with the exercise of them for over three years, resulting in him only seeing his children on a few occasions during this period.
