14-09-24.1. Parenting time - Interference - Penalty
1. Unless a party shows by clear and convincing evidence that additional parenting time
should not be ordered, if the court finds one parent intentionally interfered with the
other parent's court-ordered parenting time, the court shall order additional parenting
time to the parent who lost parenting time due to the interference to indemnify that
parent for any lost court-ordered parenting time.
2. The additional parenting time:
a. Must at least be of the same type and duration of parenting time lost due to the
interference and may be up to double the period of time lost, as determined by
the court.
b. May include weekend, holiday, and summer parenting time.
c. Must occur within two years of the date the court finds the parent intentionally
interfered with the other parent's court-ordered parenting time.
3. A court shall:
a. Give deference to the proposed additional parenting time schedule of the parent
entitled to additional parenting time under subsection 1 when determining the
schedule of the additional parenting time subject to subsection 2.
b. Consider ordering the parents to use a co-parenting application to assist with
scheduling and communication.
4. The court may sanction a parent who fails to comply with this section as a contempt of
court.
