If you would like a free consultation, please give my office a call, and I would be happy to speak with you. I can not give out legal advice, without knowing who I am giving to, without risking a conflict of interest. Direct contact eliminates this issue. Here is some "Legal Information? (not advice) that may be helpful. These are some of the most common ?post-decree? actions that parents take to enforce or modify prior parenting time orders/agreements. 1) Motion to Modify. Parenting Orders are always modifiable - circumstances change, needs change, children mature, etc. A good faith commitment made by one parent three years ago may have been a good idea three years ago; and it may be a bad idea now. Changes to a 50/50 schedule, even significant ones, will be based upon the best interests of the child. 2) Existing Parenting Orders can be enforced. Enforcement motions are also subject to a best interests analysis. Non-compliance can result in sanctions - however, making such a motion opens the door to modification. 3) Education Decision Making Disputes can be brought to the Court when the parents, through the process of joint decision making, can't make a joint decision. Again, the Court will be focusing on what is best for the child. Please note, the Court will not simply enforce a particular decision because one of the parents "wants it or feels like he/she is entitled to a result because he/she was promised. There are some very cost effective ways of addressing problems like the ones you have described.
