Enforcing Child Custody Agreements in Mission Viejo
How to Enforce Your Child Custody Rights
If you have been through divorce and you have been assigned child custody rights then these orders have the force of law. There are many cases where an ex-spouse may not adhere to these orders and you may find that you are having difficulty obtaining your rights. It is important for you to know your options if your ex-spouse is not following these court orders.
Your Options:
- Contact your local police department and ask them to enforce the order, as your order has the force of law.
- In the case that an ex-spouse is not returning your child, then you may contact the district attorney in Orange County and look for the child abduction and recovery unit.
- File an action for contempt with the court, which is essentially a notification of the lack of adherence on your ex-spouse's part, and a request to have these rights enforced.
This however can be extremely complicated and can have some very serious consequences so it is vitally important that you speak with an Mission Viejo custody attorney from The Hunter Law Group before filing an action for contempt with the California State Court. As a form of reference and evidence, you should always keep detailed records of any visitation or child custody violations on the part of your ex-spouse and have these records with you whenever you go to court for a related matter.
