any of the required information to the other party, th e Court, and the state case registry on or before the 60	
th day before the 
intended change.  If the party does not know or could not have  known of the change in sufficient time to give notice of the 
change to provide 60-days notice, the party is ordere d to give notice of the change on or before the 5	
th day after the date that 
the party knows of the change.  
 
The duty to furnish this information to every other party,  the Court, and the state case registry continues as long as any 
person, by virtue of this Order, is under an obligation to pay child support or entitled to possession of or access to a child.   
 
Failure by a party to obey the Order of this Court to provide  every other party, the Court, and the State case registry with th e 
change in the required information may resu lt in further litigation to enforce the order, including contempt of court.  A findi ng 
of contempt may be punishable by confinement in jail for up to  six months, a fine of up to $500 for each violation, and a money 
judgment for payment of attorney’s fees and court costs.    
 
Notice shall be given to every other party by delivering a copy of the notice to each party by registered or certified mail, re turn 
receipt requested.  Notice shall be given to the Court and the St ate Case Registry by delivering a copy of the notice either in 
person to the clerk of the Court or by regist ered or certified mail addressed to the clerk. 
 
Failure to obey a court order for child support or for possession  of or access to a child may result in further litigation to 
enforce this order, including contempt of court.  A finding of contempt may be punishable by confinement in jail for up to\
 six 
months, a fine of up to $500 for each violation, and a money  judgment for payment of attorney’s fees and court costs.  
 
Failure of a party to make a child support payment to the place a nd in the manner required by a court order may result in the 
party’s not receiving credit for making the  payment. Failure of a party to pay child support does not justify denying that part y 
court-ordered possession of or access to a child. Refusal by a pa rty to allow possession of or access to a child does not justi fy 
failure to pay court-ordered child support to that party.
