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 happens if my ex-spouse violates a custody agreement during summer break?
If your ex decides to play fast and loose with the custody order — say, by keeping the kids past their allotted time or refusing to exchange them — it’s frustrating, and it’s serious. In North Carolina, custody orders are enforceable by the court.
You have options:
- Start by documenting the violation. Texts, emails, and notes matter.
- Reach out politely first. Sometimes a reminder helps.
- If it continues, consult your attorney — you may need to file a motion for contempt. That can result in fines, makeup time, or even changes to the order in repeat cases.
We always aim for cooperation — but the court is there to protect your parenting time, too.
