You and your partner may have separated without any hurt feelings. The two of you may have agreed to who will pay which bills, who lives in the house and how to split parenting time. But without a court order, there’s nothing you can do to make the other person live up to that agreement. Your agreement is not enforceable in court and the police can’t intervene.
If you want to be able to enforce an agreement with your former partner or your child’s parent, you need a temporary order (until your divorce is finalized) or a consent order. At Hoopis & Hoopis, divorce lawyer Jennifer Hoopis D’Ambra can help you obtain a temporary order or a consent order.
