Child Custody Dispute
If your child’s father or mother doesn’t follow the child
custody order, you may feel frustrated and even angry. A parent behaving
contrary to the order can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. In order to
eliminate stress and prepare for possible modification, you should prepare
with the following:
Ask Your Lawyer to Write a Letter to the Other Parent
The first step you can take is to have your child custody
lawyer write a formal letter to the other parent stating that he or she must
comply with child custody orders or face serious legal consequences. If the
other parent often breaks the order and the parties are forced to take the
issue back to court, the judge may shorten visitation times or require even
require supervised visitation. In many instances, a letter from your child
custody attorney is enough to snap the other party back into reality and
convince them to follow orders.
Write Down Everything
Whenever you are having issues with child custody, it’s in
your best interest to document everything. Write down instances when the other
parent violates the order and the actions you have to take to resolve the
issue.
Don’t Break the Child Custody Order Yourself
When the other parent refuses to obey the child custody
order, it can be tempting to break it yourself.
While this can make you feel a little better initially, it can hurt you
in the long run. If you have to return to court, you want to make sure you go
with clean hands.
File a Motion for Contempt of Court
If the other parent continues to disobey child custody
orders, it may be necessary to file a motion for contempt of court. The judge
will order your ex to come to court and explain his or her behavior. If the
judge finds the other parent in contempt, he or she may face legal
consequences, such as fines or even jail time.
