If you already have an existing Child Arrangement Order, but you feel that the terms of the order are frequently being breached or ignored, you can apply to have the existing order enforced.

Our experienced solicitors at Perduco Law will assist you with the process of making an application and enforcing its outcomes.

What does the court take into account when considering making an Enforcement order?

The court’s primary consideration is the welfare of your child who is subject to the existing order.

Before making an enforcement order, the court must: 

• Be satisfied that the enforcement order is necessary to secure the person’s compliance with the existing order. 
• Be satisfied that the likely effect on the person of the proposed enforcement order is proportionate to the seriousness of the breach of the order.  
• Be satisfied that the person in breach who is ordered to undertake unpaid work can do so in the local area in which they reside.  
• Obtain and consider any information about the person in breach and the likely effect of the enforcement order upon them.  

What will the court do if the application for Enforcement of the Child Arrangement Order is successful? 

The court has the power to make an enforcement order imposing unpaid work upon the party in breach.  

Can I receive compensation for financial loss caused by the other parties’ non-compliance with the Child Arrangement Order? 

Although often hesitant to do so, the court may make an order requiring the party who is in breach of the order to pay you compensation for your financial loss if: 

• The other party has failed to comply with the existing order; 
• You have suffered reasonable financial loss because of the breach.
