Legal Question in Family Law in California

It depends. Courts are always open to parties to enforce their orders. However, there is a great deal of time and cost involved in running off to court in order to stop the ex from being a constant 10 minutes late when visitation rolls around.

The real issue is, "how much is it worth to you?" Any attorney will be happy to charge you $2,000.00 to run off to court on an Order to Show Cause. But what really happens is a lot of nothing. Courts are reluctant to issue contempt citations or modify previously made orders because they do not see the issue with the same urgency that the parties do.

In other words, a lot has to be done before you go charging into court. Call an attorney and see whether or not the problem is serious enough to warrant going to court and what other options are available.
