What happens if a parent falsely claims a safety concern to limit the other parent's time with the children?

Falsely claiming a safety issue to reduce your co-parent's parenting time is a serious matter. If the court determines the claim was made in bad faith, the parent making the false allegation could face legal consequences, including changes to the custody arrangement/parenting schedule or even be held in contempt of court. It's essential to focus on the children's best interests and avoid using safety concerns as a tactic in co-parenting disputes.
