In cases where an enrolled child is the subject of a court order (e.g. Custody Order, Restraining Order, or Protection from Abuse Order), First Circle must be provided with a certified copy of the most recent order and all amendments. In the absence of a court order on file with First Circle administration, both parents shall be afforded equal access to their child as stipulated by law. First Circle cannot, without a court order, limit the access of one parent by request of the other parent, regardless of the reason.
If we are presented with a Protection from Abuse Order or a Restraining Order, First Circle is obligated to follow the order for the entire period it is in effect. Employees of First Circle cannot, at the request of anyone, except the issuing judge, allow a Protection from Abuse Order and/or a Restraining Order to be violated. We are obligated to report any violations of these orders to the court.
