Questions & Answers
How can I enforce court-ordered custody when my ex-wife does not comply?
Hello,
My ex-wife is not complying with court orders to hand over our child and continues to receive police reports and fines from the court, which do not seem to concern her.
How can I get my daughter back in my care?
Can’t the court instruct the police to transfer my child to me? How many reports are needed before she is arrested for non-compliance?
Dear Questioner,
If your ex-wife is repeatedly failing to comply with court orders regarding custody and visitation, and court-issued fines and police reports are not prompting her to comply, you do have further legal options to enforce the order and regain custody of your child.
You can request the court to enforce the custody order through the Execution Court, which handles the enforcement of family court rulings.
This court has the authority to issue stronger enforcement actions, including instructing the police to intervene and enforce the child’s transfer to your care.
Inform the court that your ex-wife is violating the custody order repeatedly. You can file a motion of contempt or a non-compliance report with evidence of her repeated non-compliance.
The court may increase penalties or take stronger actions based on the severity and frequency of her defiance.

Dear Questioner,
While the court has the power to enforce its orders, the specific procedures and timelines can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case.
If your ex-wife continues to violate the court orders, you can file a motion for contempt of court. This can result in fines, imprisonment, or other penalties.
The court may authorize the police to intervene and enforce the custody order. However, this is typically a last resort and may require a specific court order.

Thank you for reaching out!
I understand the gravity of your situation, and I can appreciate the frustration you're facing with your ex-wife’s non-compliance with court orders regarding the custody of your child.
In cases like this, where there is a clear violation of court orders, it is possible for the court to take further enforcement actions.
While the court can issue fines and police reports, it does not typically authorize the police to forcibly take the child unless there is a serious and immediate concern for the child’s well-being.
However, the court can escalate the enforcement measures, including issuing a more severe penalty or, in some cases, considering the involvement of child protection services.
In your case, multiple reports could certainly prompt the court to take stronger actions. The exact number of reports before an arrest or other significant actions are taken depends on the specific circumstances and the court’s assessment.
The goal is often to ensure compliance through penalties or further legal steps before resorting to arrest.
I highly recommend that you take immediate action by formally requesting an enforcement procedure in the court, which could help ensure the return of your daughter to your care.
I would be happy to assist you in drafting the necessary legal motions to move this process forward.
