What happens if my ex-spouse refuses to comply with our custody agreement?

If a parent violates a court-ordered custody or visitation agreement, the other parent may file a Motion for Contempt or Motion to Enforce.

If the court finds your ex-spouse in contempt, possible consequences include:

  • Makeup parenting time
  • Fines
  • Attorney’s fees
  • Jail time (in serious or repeated violations)
  • Modification of custody

Courts take custody orders seriously. Repeated interference with visitation can significantly harm the offending parent’s position in future custody proceedings.
