Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
What are my legal options if my ex-spouse refuses to follow a parenting plan in NC?
When a court-ordered parenting plan is violated, you can file a Motion for Contempt. This tells the court your ex isn’t following the order and asks the judge to step in. If the court finds a willful violation, consequences can include:
- Makeup parenting time
- Fines or attorney’s fees
- Modification of custody
- Jail time in extreme situations
Document each violation clearly — dates, texts, missed pickups — and speak with an attorney about the best course of action.
