answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 30/01/2018 11:24:47 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
