Question:
What Can I Do if My Ex is Not Following the Orders of Custody?
Answer:
As a dedicated Saratoga Child Custody Lawyer, I am often asked what to do if an ex is not following the orders of custody.
- If one spouse doesn’t follow the family court’s order of custody, the other spouse can ask the family court to enforce that order by filing a petition for enforcement.
- Remedy can also be sought through the family court if the order of custody was made through a judgment of divorce, so long as the Supreme Court didn’t retain exclusive jurisdiction.
- In most cases, the Supreme Court does not retain exclusive jurisdiction over custodial matters, so a remedy can be pursued in the family court.
- Success on an enforcement petition requires a valid existing order of custody and evidence of failure to obey that order.
- The court has access to many remedies to punish parties who disobey such orders.
