SAN DIEGO — District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis announced that parents and guardians can now report violations of court-ordered child visitations on the DA’s public website. The new system streamlines the reporting process by giving parents a way to document the civil violations at any time without requiring a police officer to be present. The online reporting is designed to keep track of violations in the event a complainant wants to pursue civil action against the violator or seek other enforcement remedies in Family Court. People reporting violations can print out a copy of their report as soon as they complete the form. Online reports of child visitation violations will be monitored and kept on file by the Child Abduction Unit, a part of the District Attorney’s Family Protection Division. However, no further action will be taken by the DA’s Office and criminal charges will not be filed based solely on a Visitation Violation Report form. Individuals needing assistance pursuing a civil enforcement remedy should contact a private attorney or the Family Law Facilitator.
