Someone would file a contempt complaint for a parenting plan if the other parent is willfully and repeatedly violating the terms of the court-ordered custody agreement, such as by denying visitation rights, not following the agreed-upon child exchange schedule, or making significant changes to the parenting plan without proper approval, essentially putting the child’s well-being at risk and disrupting the established routine; this is considered a last resort to enforce the court order and potentially seek sanctions against the non-compliant parent.
Key reasons to file an enforcement complaint
Denial of Visitation:
When one parent consistently refuses to allow the other parent to spend time with the child as outlined in the parenting plan.
Late Pick-ups or Drop-offs:
Repeatedly failing to pick up or return the child on time per the schedule.
Unilateral Changes to the Plan:
Making significant changes to the parenting schedule without consulting the other parent or getting court approval.
Withholding Information About the Child:
Not providing necessary updates regarding the child’s health, education, or activities.
Relocating Without Notice:
Moving out of state with the child without informing the other parent as required by the court order.
FAQ's on Enforcement
Foley Family Law can initiate post-judgment actions to collect alimony and child support in arrears, whether in an enforcement proceeding or a proceeding for contempt of a court order.
We are experienced in enforcing court orders and are creative in finding solutions to your enforcement needs.
Court orders are just that. They are the ORDER of the Court. They must be followed.
But it can be complicated to force a party that chooses to disobey the law. Therefore, it is important to approach these issues correctly, as the disobedience of a Court Order can be devastating.
Enforcement measures can also be used for children’s issues as well.
The most frequent children’s issue that contempt/enforcement is used for is enforcement of child support. But there are other remedies available for enforcement or contempt dealing with time-sharing issues and parental responsibility matters.
We can also represent those that have contempt and enforcement hearings instituted against them and need representation. Contempt and Enforcement proceedings can be used for a myriad of different legal issues in the family law arena. However, contempt is usually not available for property distribution issues. This is usually an enforcement issue.
This is important, as various remedies are available to enforce a court order, and parties’ rights can be affected dramatically depending on the outcome of these hearings.
- Court hearing:
The court will hold a hearing where both parents present evidence to support their claims.
- Potential sanctions:
If the court finds the other parent in violation, they may be ordered to comply with the parenting plan, pay fines, or even face potential jail time in extreme cases.
- Modification of the parenting plan:
Depending on the situation, the court may also consider modifying the parenting plan to better address the issues at hand.
Important considerations:
- Documentation is crucial:
Keep detailed records of any alleged violations, including dates, times, and communication logs to support your case.
