If a parent has not complied with an order for possession and access to a child, and that parent does not have a valid defense, then the Court may fine or jail the nonpaying parent. The maximum punishment is six months in jail and a $500 fine per violation. The Court may also put the parent on probation subject to the future compliance with the possession schedule.
