Q: What can I do when my ex wife will not let me see my kids, even though it is on the divorce papers?
A: If you have been awarded visitation with your children and your ex-wife has not taken steps to modify the order, it is quite possible your she is in contempt. You may file a petition asking the court to hold her in contempt and subsequently ask the court to enforce the terms of visitation. Of course, if your ex-wife is deliberately going against the terms of the order, you can also ask that you be awarded attorney fees and court costs that you would have paid. Give me a call to discuss your legal options. I would be happy to assist in any way I can.
