What can a judge do to help enforce access rights?

A judge will listen to both sides to determine the problems that are preventing access from happening. The judge might make an order specifying access in very definite terms. If there has been a long history of one spouse ignoring court-ordered access, the judge could find the spouse in contempt of court for ignoring or flouting a court order.
