β° What Happens If Your Ex Doesn't Return Your Child on Time?
A one-time delay isn't always the same as repeatedly refusing to follow a Parenting Plan.
If your co-parent is consistently late or fails to return your child as agreed:
π Keep detailed records, including dates, times, messages, and any witnesses.
π« Avoid arguing in front of your child or withholding the child during your own parenting time as retaliation. Those actions can create additional legal issues.
If the violations continue, you may have legal options to help enforce your Parenting Plan.
The priority should always be protecting your child's well-being while addressing the issue appropriately.
