Legal Question in Family Law in California
Court Order Violations...what can I do?
The mother of my child constantly
violates court orders and most of the
time gets away with it. She has
taken my son outside the State twice
when there was a a court that states
she can't. She has had my child
aound an individual that the court
order said she couldn't do. The most
recent one is The court order says
that whoever one of us moves to a
different address...that persons
within 24hrs of moving has to
provide the other one with the new
address. She moved around mid-Feb
09 and just 3 days ago gave me her
new address. I e-mail her month ago
telling her that I know she moved
and asking her for her new address.
She ignored the message and did not
mail it to me until 3days ago. I'm
sure she only gave me the address
because we go to court tomorrow.
Should I mention this in court?. I
have physical custody of my
daughter and I wanted her new
address to update the records at my
daughter's school. I was able to
update the school records until
yesterday because she didn't do that
either. What can I do to get her to
start respecting the court orders?.

Re: Court Order Violations...what can I do?
You should file a motion for enforcement of court orders and have the judge reprimand her and make additional orders to enforce his original orders. If that does not work then you can file for a contempt and have the other party put in jail for violating court orders.
As always please consult an attorney prior to taking any legal action. Good luck.
