Q: If mental health is brought forward by the other parent and I’ve had my children for the last year but we do have a
Permanent order of 50/50 and he is now trying to go back to the permanent order without letting me know his progress with his mental health will the judge find me in contempt? He did file a contempt against me. I have filed to modify the order to 70/30 and he filed a contempt once he received the motion.
A: You are obligated to follow the existing order unless and until it is changed. There are not enough facts here to predict whether there are grounds for anyone to be found in contempt. As far as letting you know of progress with his mental health treatment, it depends on whether the current order requires that.
