The friend of the court enforces the written order of the court. If your court order does not provide for telephone calls, try to work it out with the other parent or pursue other methods of dispute resolution such as friend of the court mediation. If that is unsuccessful, you may file a motion with the court requesting additional parenting time through telephone access.

The law requires the friend of the court to provide enforcement services regarding parenting time orders. If you believe the friend of the court is not trying to enforce the order, you may file a grievance. You may also file your own motion for enforcement to be heard before the judge assigned to your case. Check with your local court for the approiate forms to file a motion to be heard before the Judge.

Using U.S. Supreme Court case of Bowen v. Gilliard, 483 U.S.587, 612-13, 107 S.Ct. 3008, 3023, 97 L.Ed.2d 485 (1987), It could be argued that there is a reciprocal obligation of support, only if a parent has the right to the care, custody and nurture of their child(ren). Without being given parental rights to one, there is no further obligation for one to pay child support.
