Can the Father Prevent the Mother From Seeing the Child in Jordan?

❓Frequently Asked Questions

How does the mother request a visitation arrangement?

She files a visitation-arrangement case before the Personal Status Court; the judge sets the place (police station, public venue, a relative's home), frequency (e.g., weekly), and duration.

What if the father violates the visitation ruling?

The mother may file enforcement; the judge imposes daily fines or even detention for repeated violations. Deliberate prevention may also later become grounds for stripping the father's custody.

May the father impose conditions on visitation?

Arbitrary conditions that empty visitation of meaning are not permitted. Substantive conditions like a defined time or a third party's presence in cases of objective concern are allowed. The judge balances the child's safety with the mother's right to actual visitation.
