More details to this question:
father has visits with son every other weekend, 12-4 supervised by his mom. Father has a criminal file, anger issuses, assualts. Has been out of jail since Nov.On last visit mother lied about where they were going, her phone number, and returned my grandson 1hr and 15 minutes late. When my daughter filed a complaint, the judge said an hour and 15 isn''t that much of a concern. What good are court orders if even the judge isn''t taken it seriouslly?

What do you expect the COurt to do? If the Court were to sanction someone by taking away visitation, that would hurt the child as well as the parent and be a little harsh for a single incident. If this continues, the Curt may do something, but at some point, the Court can not manage everything that happens in a family.
