Child custody orders are mandates from the court that cannot simply be ignored. In fact, if you ignore a child custody order and refuse to let the other parent see your child, you may face criminal charges. However, if you truly believe that your child’s health or safety is in danger when they are with their other parent, you can withhold custody. If that is the case, you need to contact the proper authorities and a family law attorney like Torrence L. Howell to file for a modification of your child custody order.
