Custody Rights Enforcement Steps

Summary

If a school in Suwanee, GA, is not complying with your custodial rights, you can take several steps.

If the school continues to interfere, document each instance and notify local family court. You can file a motion for contempt or enforcement of your custody order at the Gwinnett County Superior Court. Prepare the motion, gather evidence, and submit it to the court.

Re: Enforcement of Custodial Rights
I am writing to formally request that [School Name] adhere to the custody agreement established by the court, which grants me specific parenting times with my child, [Child's Name]. Despite previous communications, the school has continued to restrict my access during these periods, which directly violates the legal agreement.
Enclosed is a copy of the custody agreement for your reference. I kindly ask that the school respects and enforces this agreement to prevent further interference with my custodial rights.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and cooperation.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
