3:15 Outro
Generally, the law considers that both spouses have the right to time-sharing. In fact, there was a recent law in July of 2023 that specifically states that both parents have the right to time-sharing on an equal 50/50 basis unless they agree otherwise. If your former spouse or former partner is refusing to allow you to see your children for any reason, you have the right to file the proper legal action depending on the circumstances of your case.
Now, you may be tempted to call the police because your ex-spouse's conduct may be so bad, so egregious to you, that you consider it to be criminal. However, the truth is that the police will usually not get involved because technically, from a legal standpoint, it's not considered a criminal act. Instead, they're likely to inform you that you should consult an attorney to pursue a private legal action and technically, from a legal standpoint, they're right.
This issue usually comes up when there's child support involved. For example, one parent denies the other the right to see the children because they haven't paid the child support that they agreed to pay or the child support that they owe. Or one parent stops paying child support because the other is refusing time-sharing. Either way, the short answer is that you should take the higher road by doing the right thing.
The court considers the right to time-sharing and the right to child support as two independent considerations. So, if one parent stops paying child support for any reason, that person's right to time-sharing should not be affected. Similarly, if you stop receiving the child support payments, this does not necessarily mean you can refuse your ex-spouse or ex-partner from having time-sharing with your children.
