Enforcing Your Custody Rights: Legal Solutions for Non-Compliance**
Dealing with a co-parent who is not following the court-ordered custody agreement can be distressing and disruptive to your family’s stability.
An experienced custody lawyer serving Edina and the greater Twin Cities area, we specialize in family law and are dedicated to protecting your parental rights and ensuring the well-being of your children.
Your Legal Options:
- Filing a Motion for Contempt:
If your ex-spouse consistently disregards the court-ordered custody arrangement, you have the right to file a motion for contempt. This legal action seeks to enforce compliance with the court’s order and can result in penalties for the non-compliant parent, such as fines, modification of custody terms, or even jail time in extreme cases. - Modification of Custody Order:** In situations where ongoing non-compliance or significant changes in circumstances warrant it, you may seek a modification of the custody order. This process involves presenting evidence to the court that demonstrates why a change in custody terms is in the best interests of the children.
- Mediation and Negotiation:** Sometimes, conflicts over custody can be resolved through mediation or negotiation outside of court. Our experienced family law attorneys can facilitate discussions between you and your co-parent to reach a mutually agreeable solution, focusing on the best interests of your children while preserving parental rights.
- Enforcement of Visitation Rights:** If your co-parent is denying you visitation rights with your children, we can take legal action to enforce these rights. This may involve seeking court orders for makeup visitation time, adjusting the visitation schedule to prevent future conflicts, or other appropriate remedies.
