Ans: Generally same situation is created by the parent having custody of the child, which is not termed as "contempt"

Q3. If the other parent files false allegations under CPC Section 151 to get the visitation orders withdrawn, with the intent of obstructing implementation, can this be considered contempt?

Ans: Interim application with relevant documents.

Q5. In such matters, which forum is better to approach for contempt enforcement — Family Court or High Court?

Ans. Family Court

Q6. If I don’t want to file a contempt petition, and also wish to avoid police involvement (as the issue involves psychological manipulation, not direct denial of access), what other court-based steps can I take to ensure strict compliance with the visitation orders?
Ans. No straight jacket formula / law on the subject.

If i am unable to comply with the court's visitation orders because the children, due to severe parental alienation by the mother, are misbehaving and refusing to meet me, does this still amount to contempt of court, even though their behavior is a result of her manipulation?

I have already  application for psychological counselling is pending for the children. However, the other parent is now filing false allegations under 151 cpc and seeking withdrawal of visitation orders, which appears to be deliberately intended to delay or obstruct the court’s hearing on my counselling application. Is this filing of withdrawal of visitation through cpc 151 procedurally correct? If not is there is any case laws to rely for objecting to this application.
