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 should I do if my ex-spouse refuses to comply with a holiday custody plan?
If your ex refuses to follow your agreed-upon or court-ordered custody schedule during the holidays, document everything — texts, emails, and missed exchanges.
Then, contact your family law attorney as soon as possible. In North Carolina, you can file a motion for contempt or motion to enforce the custody order. The court takes willful violations seriously, especially when it disrupts a child’s time with a parent.
That said, before going to court, it’s sometimes worth sending a calm, written reminder of the order. Judges appreciate parents who try to resolve issues peacefully before escalating — but they also expect parents to follow court orders.
