Filing a Motion of Inforcment for visitation rights

[blendedfamily]

What is the name of your state?Oklahoma

I know I kinda asked a question like this before...I asked before if theres was anything other than a contempt to file for ex violating CO...The answer I got was no..but legal aid (which really was no AID at all) gave me this fill in the blank form to file called MOTION FOR ENFORCMENT OF NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT VISITAION RIGHTS What is the purpose of filing that...I had heard of it before thats why I asked before what else there was to file...I was steaming when I left legal aid so It didnt dawn on me to ask..but why would one want to file this order instead of a contempt?

Whats the purpose?

I know the law says we have a hearing in 20 from date of filing is that just for this motion or would it be for any contempt of visitaion...

I am not an attorney..but I believe that a motion for enforcement ..would follow along the same lines as contempt. Sounds like they are motioning for the judge to force the other parent to abide by the court orders..which..somewhere along those lines..would also hold her in contempt for not obeying the judges orders??
It is the judges decision whether or not he wants to hold the other in contempt..whether it be jail time..paying up to $500 for each violation...or a slap on the wrist and a wiggle of his finger.

Yes, but even if it is a slap on the wrist and a wiggle of the finger, you are getting your point across, and that judge is not going to slap wrists if it happens again!

Exactly!
And in most cases..a judge will completely frown upon a parent trying to keep a child from another parent...and playing head games involving the kids.
