Riverview, FL asked in Family Law, Child Custody, Child Support and Civil Litigation for Colorado

Q: What if a court order is impossible to complete ?

I got divorced in Colorado and have been ordered reintegration therapy to have contact with my children however I live in Florida. To have therapy the therapist must be licensed in both states this is impossible to find and if I did find a therapist willing they would be in violation of the law since I am not a resident of Colorado and my children are not residents of Florida. My ex is totally unwilling to cooperate in any way. Can I file a motion to vacate the order or request a hearing to reconsider the court order?

A: Yes, you can file a motion to have he court modify it's order. Your motion should propose a solution that is possible and that will meet the court's initial concerns. You should get a lawyer in Colorado to help you with this (assuming the order is from the Colorado court).
