What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

The Motion to Enforce and for Contempt, form FM-AV-100, is filed in a Texas court when one parent or conservator believes the other is violating a court-ordered possession and access (visitation) schedule. It formally requests the court to enforce the existing order and can ask for penalties, such as fines or jail time, for the non-compliant party. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Cause Number Presence

This check ensures that the 'Cause Number' field is not empty. The Cause Number is a unique identifier for the case within the court system, and its absence would make it impossible to file the motion or associate it with the correct legal proceeding. If this field is left blank, the user should be prompted to enter the correct Cause Number as it appears on the original court order.

Exclusive Court Type Selection

Validates that the user has selected either 'District Court' or 'County Court at Law', but not both. Court filings must be directed to a single, specific court. This check prevents ambiguity and ensures the motion is routed correctly. If both or neither are selected, the form should display an error and require the user to choose exactly one option.

Child's Birthday Validity

This check verifies that the 'Child’s Birthday' field for each child is a valid date in the past, formatted as MM/DD/YYYY. It is impossible for a minor child in a custody case to have a birthday in the future. This validation prevents data entry errors and ensures the child's age is calculated correctly. An invalid or future date would trigger an error message.

Child Initials and Full Name Consistency

Compares the provided 'Initials' for each child against the 'Child’s Name' field to ensure they correspond. For example, if the name is 'Jane Marie Doe', the initials should be 'JMD'. This check helps maintain data integrity and confirms the user has entered information for the correct child in both places. A mismatch would prompt the user to review and correct the entries.

Movant Conservator Status Confirmation

Ensures that at least one of the conservator status checkboxes ('Joint Managing Conservator', 'Possessory Conservator', etc.) is selected for the Movant. The form explicitly warns that only appointed conservators can use it. This check enforces a critical legal requirement for standing, preventing individuals without legal conservatorship from filing this motion. If no status is selected, the submission should be blocked with an explanation.

Basis for Contempt Requirement

Verifies that the user has checked at least one of the primary reasons for the motion: 'Contempt Based on Denial of Possession' or 'Contempt Based on the Failure to Disclose Contact Information'. A motion for contempt must have a specific legal basis. This check ensures the filing is not empty or purposeless, and it guides the user to provide the necessary supporting details for their claim.

Common Mistakes in Completing FM-AV-100

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incorrect or Incomplete Case Information
Users often enter the Cause Number or Court information from memory, leading to typos or inaccuracies. The form explicitly requires this information to match the original Petition exactly. An incorrect Cause Number can lead to the motion being rejected by the clerk or filed in the wrong case, causing significant delays and requiring refiling.
Signing the Document Prematurely
The form contains multiple explicit warnings to not sign the verification section until in the physical presence of a notary. Many people sign the form at home out of habit and then take it to be notarized, which invalidates the document. A notary must witness the signature for the sworn statement to be legally valid, and failure to comply will result in the motion being deemed defective.
Failing to Attach and Label Exhibits
The motion is legally insufficient without the required attachments, specifically 'Exhibit A' (the court order being enforced) and 'Exhibit B' (the Possession and Access Journal). A common error is forgetting to attach these documents, attaching the wrong order, or failing to label them correctly as specified. This oversight makes it impossible for the court to evaluate the motion, leading to immediate dismissal or denial.
Confusing Respondent's Residential and Service Addresses
The form distinguishes between where the Respondent lives and where they can be legally served with court papers. Filers often assume these are the same or leave the service address blank, even if it's different (e.g., a work address). Improper service means the court has no jurisdiction over the Respondent, which will halt the case until service is properly completed, causing major delays.
Using Full Names Instead of Initials for Minors
The first page specifically requests only the initials of the minor children to protect their sensitive data, a common practice in family court filings. However, users often overlook this instruction and write out the children's full names. This mistake violates the court's data privacy rules and may result in the clerk rejecting the document and requiring the filer to submit a corrected version.
Inaccurate Identification of the Court Order
In Section 5, the filer must provide the exact name and signing date of the order they wish to enforce. People frequently provide a vague description (e.g., 'custody order') or guess the date. This ambiguity prevents the court from knowing which specific order has been violated, which is grounds for denying the motion for lack of specificity.
Filing Without Legal Standing as a Conservator
A critical mistake is filling out this form without being a court-appointed conservator of the children, despite a clear warning on page 1. This form is specifically for enforcing rights granted in a conservatorship order. Filing without this legal standing will lead to the motion being dismissed, and the filer will have wasted their time and any filing fees.
Inconsistent Information Between Sections
The form asks for children's initials on page 1 and their full names and details on page 3. Users may list a different number of children in each section or have other inconsistencies. Such discrepancies create confusion and undermine the credibility of the document, potentially leading to questions from the judge or a request to amend the filing.
Providing Vague Descriptions of Settlement Attempts
When checking 'Other' under settlement attempts, filers often write a brief or non-specific statement. Courts prefer to see that a genuine, good-faith effort was made to resolve the issue before litigation. A vague description can be interpreted as a lack of serious effort, which may negatively influence the judge's perception of the case.
Improper Date Formatting
The form specifies a 'month/day/year' format for dates like the children's birthdays and the date of the court order. Users may enter dates in a different regional format (e.g., day/month/year) or use an inconsistent style, creating ambiguity. Correct and consistent formatting is crucial for official records and can be automatically handled by AI-powered form-filling tools like Instafill.ai, which also convert non-fillable PDFs into fillable versions.

What is the purpose of the 'Motion to Enforce and for Contempt' form?
This form is used to ask a Texas court to enforce an existing child possession and access (visitation) order when the other parent is not following it. It also allows you to request that the court hold the other parent in contempt for their violations.
Who is allowed to file this motion?
You can only file this motion if a court has already appointed you as a conservator of the children (e.g., Joint Managing Conservator, Sole Managing Conservator, or Possessory Conservator). If you are not a court-appointed conservator, you cannot use this form and should consult an attorney.
What documents do I need to attach to this form?
You must attach a copy of the court order you are trying to enforce, labeling it as 'Exhibit A'. If you are filing due to denied visitation, you also need to attach a 'Possession and Access Journal' detailing the violations, labeled as 'Exhibit B'.
What does it mean to hold someone in 'contempt of court'?
Holding someone in contempt means the court finds they have willfully disobeyed a court order. Potential punishments can include fines, jail time, or being placed on community supervision as a consequence of the violation.
How do I fill out the section for 'Contempt Based on Denial of Possession'?
Check the box for this section if the other parent has denied your court-ordered visitation. You must provide the name and date of the order being violated and attach a detailed log (Possession and Access Journal) of each time your possession was denied.
What is 'Discovery Level 2' as mentioned on the form?
Discovery is the formal process of exchanging information between parties in a lawsuit. Level 2 is a standard set of rules under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure that governs the timeline and limits for this information exchange.
Do I have to try to settle this before filing with the court?
Yes, the form requires you to describe what attempts you made to resolve the issue with the other parent before filing the motion. This could include sending a letter, trying mediation, or other communication attempts.
What are 'make-up visits' and how do I ask for them?
Make-up visits are additional possession periods granted by the court to compensate you for the time you lost due to the other parent's violations. You can request them by checking the box in Section 8, 'Make Up Visits'.
Does this form need to be notarized?
Yes, you must sign the 'Verification' section at the end of the form in the presence of a notary public. Do not sign it beforehand, as the notary must witness your signature for it to be valid.
What should I do if the original court order is vague or unclear?
The form includes a 'Clarification' section where you can ask the court to issue a new, clearer order. This helps prevent future disagreements by specifying the exact duties of each parent and making the order enforceable by contempt.
Where do I find the Cause Number and Court information to put on the form?
You must fill in the Cause Number, Court Number, and County at the top of the first page. This information must be copied exactly from your existing court order that you are trying to enforce.
Can I use an AI tool to help me fill out this form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to accurately auto-fill form fields, which can save you time and help reduce errors. This is especially useful for repetitive information like names, addresses, and case numbers.
