Q: What action should I take when my child father has violated a court order to see my child?
Me and the father of my child had a MOA and the father violated the agree by not letting me have overnights and failed to give me and update contact information.
A: You can file a motion to enforce the court order and for make-up parenting time. You should retain an attorney to help you with this.
A:
Assuming you mean MOU and not MOA, the ultimate question is whether that MOU was made an order of the court, meaning the Judge or Magistrate signed off on it.
From there, the specific language of your MOU will control and per 14-10-129.5,CRS, there is a whole host of remedies available to you, potentially.
It would be prudent to review your MOU with an attorney and any other court orders, along with more facts here, in order to determine if your MOU is specific enough to file a Motion to Enforce or determine a different path to potentially accomplish your goals.
