If you and your ex-spouse have a Parenting Plan that has been ordered by a Court, and the other parent is not following the Parenting Plan or has violated the Plan in some way, then you should contact your lawyer.
If the only way to get your ex-spouse to abide by the Parenting Plan is by getting the Court's help, your lawyer can file a Petition for Contempt. A petition for contempt asks the court to force the other parent to follow your Plan and to punish the other parent for failing to follow the court's order.
Your lawyer will ask you to write an Affidavit, with their help, that will demonstrate to the court how the other parent is failing to abide by your final Parenting Plan.
The other parent will be given the opportunity to show up in court and tell the court why that parent should not be held in contempt. This opportunity for the other parent is called an Order to Show Cause.
