Q: Both parents have been court ordered to use Our Family Wizard. One parent refuses. What do I do?
Non custodial parent refuses to use court ordered Family Wizard to communicate. Has had two months to do it. This parent has supervised visits that that require us to communicate. Tries using family to communicate. Child does not look fwd to going. Can I refuse vistation indirectly by refusing to communicate other than as directed in court order?
A: The other parent appears to be in violation of a Court Order and you can file a Contempt Complaint in order to obtain action from the Court that will address the non-compliance in terms of its effects on the child's bet interests. If you have counsel and there is a contempt finding against the other parent the Court would also order your counsel fees to be paid.
