Speak Up! - View Question #116 |
 printer friendly version
Question: A court order saying I could have contact with my mother was violated. Do I have legal recourse?
Answer: In your specific case, you will need to seek legal advice from an attorney.
Generally 'Court Orders' are just that -- ORDERS! If they are violated, usually the person has recourse and can do something about it.
For example, if a court orders a parent to pay child support and the parent does not, the Court can impose sanctions in the form of fees and/or jail time.
Another example is where the court orders a mother to help/assist her children in calling their father every Sunday night. If the calls aren't made, the mother faces sanctions by the court.

I had that exact thing happen to me. My mom was granted visitation and phone privledges and after a couple years, my dad decided it was in my "best Interest" not to have any contact with her. i didnt talk to her for seven years. I just began talking to her again a few months ago. Ive run into lots of problems with my parents. They dont want me in their house, yet they force me home every night at curfew. And yet, there are days that they dont come home and im outside in the cold for hours, or forced to sit at the library. Im still in school, so i cant support myself and become emacipated, i do
