Unless a party shows by clear and convincing evidence that additional parenting time should not be ordered, if the court finds one parent intentionally interfered with the other parent’s court-ordered parenting time, the court shall order additional parenting time to the parent who lost parenting time due to the interference to indemnify that parent for any lost court-ordered parenting time.

a. Must at least be of the same type and duration of parenting time lost due to the interference and may be up to double the period of time lost, as determined by the court.
 

b. May include weekend, holiday, and summer parenting time.
 

c. Must occur within two years of the date the court finds the parent intentionally interfered with the other parent’s court-ordered parenting time.

a. Give deference to the proposed additional parenting time schedule of the parent entitled to additional parenting time under subsection 1 when determining the schedule of the additional parenting time subject to subsection 2.
 

b. Consider ordering the parents to use a co-parenting application to assist with scheduling and communication.
