A: In this situation, given the urgency and your circumstances, I would recommend seeking assistance from a local legal aid organization or a pro bono attorney who can help you file a motion to address the father's non-compliance with court orders and the impact on your child's well-being. Additionally, you can request a modification of the existing orders to ensure the child's therapy and progress are not hindered. It's crucial to act promptly to protect your child's best interests.
