Q: What can my husband do to see his daughter after it was court ordered but is still denied his rights
A: This question is very vague. If he has rights to see the child through a court order, he should exercise those rights by visiting with the child. If he neglects to exercise his rights to visitation with the child, that is very disheartening for the child. If there is a court order and the wife is refusing to permit the visitation, there is what is called "contempt of court" where you file a petition with the judge handling the custody matter and seek immediate relief. If you are the estranged father with rights you need to get into court immediately for enforcement of the custody order. It is not unheard of for women in contempt of a court order to be sent to jail if this is an ongoing problem. I highly recommend if this is the case that you seek legal counsel immediately and get in to court!
