Q: If someone is violation of a court order for years, how do I go about exposing this person?
My Mother was granted guardianship of my children. She has been in violation of it for years. Now I am disabled and am living in the household and am witness to the mental and physical abuse that she is inflicting on the children and I. I would like to know how to go about helping me and the kids get out of this house safely since the court order says that I am supposed to have supervised visitation which I have been given unsupervised visitation for years and have proof of this. My Mother looks really good outside in front of people, but once the doors are closed she is someone completely different. Please help with any information that you may have. Thank you, God Bless.
A: If a current order is being violated then you can file a motion for enforcement. If you want to change the current order then you can file a motion for modification. Either way you nned to file something with the court.
