A: Is there a visitation order in place? If not, you should make an agreement on visitation, and then get the court to enter the visitation order. That way, you can file a "petition for rule" for his failure to comply with a court order, for which you can recover money. This also comes with the threat of him being held in contempt of court, which could lead to him going to jail. If you cannot come to an agreement, petition the judge to enter a visitation order.
