<p>Where the family court is satisfied that breach of a child arrangements order has
occurred and enforcement action is necessary to secure compliance, it may make an
enforcement order requiring the person in breach to undertake unpaid work. The court
may also order that person to pay financial compensation to another person who has
suffered a financial loss due to the breach. These powers are in addition to the court’s
general powers to treat non-compliance as a contempt of court, which is punishable
by imprisonment or a fine.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes that these powers
provide suitable options for sanctions for the court to consider when breaches of
child arrangements orders take place.</p>
