Q: My partner's ex wife breaks the parenting plan only when it is "convenient" for her. Does this null and void the plan.

The father of the child agreed to terms for fear of losing his child. 5 years later, the mother of the child does not enforce the parenting plan, and encourages the plan to be broken ESPECIALLY when it is in her benefit.

EX: Father is to have supervised visits. The mother of the child, maternal grandmother, paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother are supposed to "supervise" the father of the child's visits due to the undocumented/unsupported prior use of drugs by the father.

Tried to force sobriety on the father of the child. The father of the child was fearful of losing his rights. He agreed to the terms.

A: A parent's failure to comply does not void the court order. Either party can move to enforce the order with the court. Unless Mother has sole decision making, Father should have direct access to medical and educational records.
