Contempt of parenting plan in Snohomish County

A parenting plan contempt case is used when a party is not following court-ordered parenting plan terms. This commonly involves parenting time, decision-making, or other required provisions in the plan. We prepare the documents so your filing is organized, consistent, and court-ready.

Common parenting plan violations

  • Parenting time interference (missed exchanges, denied visits, withholding the children)
  • Decision-making violations (unilateral decisions when joint decision-making is required)
  • Failure to follow plan requirements (notice provisions, communication rules, transportation terms)
  • Repeated noncompliance that creates a clear pattern

Documents we prepare

  • Motion/petition for contempt (as applicable)
  • Declarations and supporting statements
  • Proposed order
  • Exhibit packet organization (messages, calendars, incident timeline)
  • Service packet(s) when required

What to gather before we prepare your paperwork

  • A timeline of violations (dates, missed exchanges, refusals, incidents)
  • Texts/emails/app messages showing the noncompliance
  • Any police reports, school notes, or third-party records (if applicable)
