Clients have a lot of options when their spouses or ex-spouses violate possession and access agreements and that really comes down to or the main solution really comes down to what’s called an enforcement. And the enforcement document can be filed with the court and it’s a little bit different than a regular petition or motion because you’re essentially letting the court know that somebody has violated an order that’s in place. We always advise our clients when they’re potentially seeking this type of enforcement issue to make sure that they’re making a really good record of violations. For a possession and access agreement that looks like physically and literally going to the spot in your order for pick up and drop off and waiting for your child and then documenting if your ex did not drop your child off to you. And keeping those types of records really help clients when they’re looking to file that enforcement action and it’s going to help the client seek make up time and attorney’s fees in bringing forward that cause of action.
