if there is a court order for visitation no... if visitation days are not stipulated but regular visitation is required... then you need to check state law.. some places require it visitation at least every 3 months, some states actually qualify it as kidnapping if you deny visitation for over 6 months...
Anyway you look at it, if there is good reason, ask a lawyer... if there isnt... well... never use a child as a weapon...

depends on the state you live in, but legally, no. If there is a court document that states the noncustodial parent is to receive uninterrupted visitation w/ children, then the custodial parent will be in contempt of the court.
Is the visitation supervised?

that depends, is there an agreement in place? a court order? if there is then there isn't much you can do except go back to court and get the order changed. if there is no order the custodial parent can pretty much do whatever they want..however with no agreement in place you have to remember that whoever the kids are with has 'custody' so you don't have to give them up but he doesn't have to bring them back. without an agreement posession is 9/10ths of the law and things can get very ugly (went through this for a few years). good luck.

the courts really don't enforce visitation, only support payments. the non-custodial parent can file a complaint and the judge will say something, but no fines imposed, no refunded support payment, NO NOTHING. My question is why would anyone want to interrupt visitation. that is qualtiy time parent and child are spending together?

Nope, it is a court order and will be in violation if it isn't met. Unless its written on paper that it isn't the non custodial parent's weekend.

how incredibly sad!!! Don't know the whole story and that is something that you have to ask yourself. What are the reasons?? Is the child in proven danger...Today there is a study called P.A.S. - parental alienation syndrome. Perhaps it might be in everyone's best interest...mainly the child's....to look into this....

dont know the whole situation. if there is a child danger issue - yes, but ONLY if she gets a court order, if there is no danger to the child, NO... visitation is visitation
