The applicant mother, who had sole custody of the parties' 15-year-old daughter, brought a motion under Family Law Rule 1(8) seeking relief against the respondent father for failing to comply with custody orders.
The child had refused to return to the mother's home and began residing with the father.
The court found that the father breached the orders by failing to take reasonable steps to compel the child's return and by failing to participate in court-ordered family reconciliation therapy.
The court ordered the immediate return of the child, suspended the father's parenting time for 60 days, and prohibited him from proceeding with his own motions until he complied with the orders.
