If a parent doesn’t follow Parenting Orders, this is called ‘breaching’ or ‘contravening’ the orders.
In some cases, when a parent breaks Parenting Orders, the other parent can file an application to ask the court to fix the breach or to enforce the orders.
The Family Courts will not enforce a Parenting Plan as this is not a court order.
Get legal advice before you start contravention proceedings, as it may not be the best option for you. You may have to pay the other side’s legal costs if you lose.
For more information on contravention proceedings, see resources and get legal advice.
