ID H0859

Courts must restore parenting time when a parent's custody was restricted, suspended, or supervised based on abuse allegations that were adjudicated as unsubstantiated or failed to meet the clear and convincing evidence standard

Willful interference with restoration orders triggers enforceable remedies including contempt, compensatory parenting time, and referral to prosecutors for potential custody interference charges under Title 18

Compensatory parenting time must equal the type and duration of time denied, including equivalent time for missed holidays, school breaks, and special periods

Restoration may only be delayed if clear and convincing evidence shows immediate restoration would pose substantial harm to the child
