Can I participate in parenting time enforcement court or support enforcement court if i have a pending petition to modify child custody, parenting time or child support?
If you have a pending petition, of if you or the other side file a cross petition to modify child custody, parenting time and child support, all issues, including modification and enforcement, will be heard by the judge assigned to your case. They will not be heard in the enforcement courts. In general, parties will no longer be referred to the Family Court Conference Center (formerly known as “Expedited Services”) by their judge for child support calculation or enforcement once the judge has entered a child custody or parenting time order. Litigants must be prepared to address child support at the hearing that modifies custody or parenting time.
