Uniform Comment

This section authorizes a court to issue a temporary order if it is necessary to enforce visitation rights without violating the rules on nonmodification contained in Section 303 [Me. cite section 1763]. Therefore, if there is a visitation schedule provided in the custody determination that was made in accordance with Article 2 [Me. cite subchapter II], a court can issue an order under this section implementing the schedule. An implementing order may include make-up or substitute visitation.

A court may also issue a temporary order providing for visitation if visitation was authorized in the custody determination, but no specific schedule was included in the custody determination. Such an order could include a substitution of a specific visitation schedule for "reasonable and seasonable."

However, a court may not, under subsection (a)(2) [Me. cite subsection 1, paragraph B] provide for a permanent change in visitation. Therefore, requests for a permanent change in the visitation schedule must be addressed to the court with exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under Section 202 [Me. cite section 1746] or modification jurisdiction under Section 203 [Me. cite section 1747]. As under Section 204 [Me. cite section 1748] subsection (b) [Me. cite subsection 2] of this section requires that the temporary visitation order stay in effect only long enough to allow the person who obtained the order to obtain a permanent modification in the State with appropriate jurisdiction under Article 2 [Me. cite subchapter II].
