→Set a schedule of parenting time
====Set a schedule of parenting time====
Another good early step is to apply for an order for parenting time, under section 45 of the ''Family Law Act'' or section 16.1 of the ''[[Divorce Act]]'', that provides a specific schedule of for the child's time with each parent. These orders can give the rejected parent specific, set periods of time with the child, on a schedule neither parent can control, and ensure that the child continues to see the parent despite their resistance.
Orders about parenting time are relatively easy to enforce, and a failure to follow orders always makes a parent look bad in court. See the section "[[Enforcing Orders, Awards and Agreements Involving Children|Enforcing Orders, Awards and Agreements]]" for more information.
