Steps for non-compliance with the parenting plan
Conflict mediation
When you and your ex-partner sign the parenting plan, the agreements become legally binding and are often ratified by the court. If your ex-partner does not comply with the agreements, such as changing visitation days, moving house without consultation or not complying with child support, it is advisable to first talk and look for a solution together. Here you can consider using a mediator.

Collection of child support through the LBIO
If talks are unsuccessful and the problem lies with the payment of child support, you can turn to the Landelijk Bureau Inning Onderhoudsbijdragen (LBIO). The LBIO, although not a bailiff, performs a similar role in the collection of child support arrears. For example, this government agency can seize your ex-partner’s income. However, this can only be done if the alimony has been ratified by the court.
Remedies for violation of agreements
For other obligations, if consultation does not lead to a solution, you can hire a lawyer and start summary proceedings. Here you can ask the court to impose a penalty for each time your ex-partner does not comply with the agreements. Often the threat of summary proceedings and a penalty payment proves sufficient to ensure compliance with the plan.
Legal consequences for non-compliance
If your ex-partner continues to resist complying with the court order, more severe legal action may follow, such as fines or even criminal charges in serious cases. It is crucial to consider these consequences and take timely legal action.
Preventing future conflicts
The importance of quick action
Taking quick action is often essential to avoid escalating conflicts. By taking timely legal action, you can control the situation and ensure stability for your children.
Review of parenting plan
To avoid future conflicts, it is wise to regularly review the parenting plan and adapt it to changing circumstances, such as moving or changes in work schedules. This can help prevent misunderstandings and non-compliance in the future.
