Legal Question in Family Law in Rhode Island

Re: Court ordered visitation violations

The Family Court's primary concern in such matters is the best interest of the child. As such, the Family Court may modify a prior order upon sufficient evidence of a change in circumstances or evidence of a risk to the health or well being of the child.

If you believe circumstances exist in this case to justify such a modification, I suggest you see a lawyer. If you need counsel, feel free to review our qualifications at "www.montsum.com" and give me a call Monday if you would like to schedule a free consultation with our firm's domestic relations expert.

In any event, though, the Court will not deny a parent visitation with his or her child except in the most severe cases. I hope this helps.
