Require additional terms and conditions consistent with the court's parenting-time order. After notice to both parties and a hearing, if requested by a party, on a proposed modification of parenting time, modify the parenting-time order to meet the best interests of the child. Order that makeup parenting time be provided for the wrongfully denied parent to take the place of wrongfully denied parenting time. Order the parent to pay a fine of not more than $100.00. Commit the parent to the county jail. Commit the parent to the county jail with the privilege of leaving the jail during the hours the court determines necessary, and under the supervision the court considers necessary, for the purpose of allowing the parent to go to and return from his or her place of employment. If the parent holds an occupational, driver's, recreational, or sporting license, condition the suspension of the parent's license(s) upon noncompliance with an order for makeup and ongoing parenting time.
