§ 172 Commencement of enforcement and modification proceedings in other county

If you want to enforce or change a family court order, but you're filing in a different county than where the original order was issued, there's a specific way to do it. You need to file a petition that clearly states the order came from a different county. This petition also needs to include all the same information normally required for any enforcement or modification request.

You must also attach a copy of the original order to your petition. This can be either the original document or a certified copy. The court needs this to confirm what order you're asking them to enforce or change, since the order wasn't issued by that same court.

This rule makes sure the family court handling your case has proof of the original order, even though that court didn't create it. Without this attached document, the court won't have the full picture of what you're asking for.
