Custody Enforcement
Packet No. 11
Instructions
This process is intended for someone who has been granted physical custody of a child
by a court order, and another party is violating that order by withholding the child. If you
are trying to enforce an out of state order or judgment, you will need the following
additional forms available through Dissolution Resource Services: (1) Child Custody and
Parenting Time Judgments from Other States, Information on Enforcement, and (2) Ex
Parte Petition for Order of Assistance. Please ask for them. If you are trying to enforce
an out of county judgment, you will need to file a request to transfer the case to Marion
County in the original county. IF YOU’VE BEEN DENIED PARENTING TIME OR
VISITATION, DON’T USE THIS PROCESS - YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO USE
PACKET 10.
STEP 1:
*Get a certified copy of the order you are asking the court to enforce.
*Fill out the forms according to the instructions below.
1. Affidavit.
*Fill out the case heading at the top of the page. If the order you are asking the
court to enforce was originally entered by the Marion County Circuit Court, the case
number and the names of the respondent and petitioner stay the same. Otherwise, you are
the petitioner and the other party is the respondent, and the clerk will assign a case
number when you file your papers.
*Fill out the rest of the form completely, except for your signature, which should
be filled out in front of a court clerk or notary public.
2. Ex Parte Motion (for Marion County cases) /Petition (for out of state cases) for
Order of Assistance.
*Fill out the case heading the same as the Affidavit.
*Fill out the rest of the form completely.

4. Certificate of Document Preparation.
*Fill out the case heading the same as the Affidavit.
*Fill out the form completely.
STEP 2:
*Make a copy of the documents you just filled out for your records.
STEP 3:
You may file your documents along with the certified copy of the original order at the
accounting window or you may take them to a judge for consideration. If the original
order was granted in the Marion County Circuit Court, you should take the papers to the
judge that was assigned to your case at that time, if one was assigned. Otherwise, you
may take the papers to the ex parte judge. Ask the information window clerk which judge
is the ex parte judge. There is no filing fee for this process.
STEP 4:
Sign up for the Children Cope with Divorce (COPE) class through the YWCA within 15
days of when you filed your papers with the court.
STEP 5:
Take a certified copy of the order that was signed in step 3 and deliver it to the Marion
County Sheriff’s office (basement of the courthouse). The sheriff’s office will attempt to
serve the order on the other party and deliver the child(ren) to you.
