Answer
Based on official Jordanian legal texts
A father cannot be prevented from seeing his children under Jordanian law except by a reasoned judicial ruling; the default is the continuation of the right of visitation. Article 181 of the Personal Status Law establishes the right of both father and mother to see, gather, host, and accompany the child, and to keep in touch through modern means of communication when direct visitation is not feasible.
Article 182 entrusts the Sharia Court with organizing and modifying the time and place of visitation according to interest, so visitation is a regulated right not left to the custodian's will alone. If the custodian refuses, without excuse, to enable the father's visitation, Article 183 addresses this by temporarily forfeiting custody on application.
A father is denied visitation only in exceptional cases where a threat to the child's safety is established, by a court ruling based on facts and evidence, since the default is that the father's bond with his children serves their interest.
Assessing whether a justification exists to restrict or prevent visitation remains within the court's competence in each case, and is not guaranteed by the mere request of either party.
This is a general explanation based on Jordanian Personal Status Law and does not replace advice from a qualified lawyer in a specific dispute.
