Q: Will being out of work reduce the time I get in time sharing?
My ex gf and I have been apart for 5 months and she is working limited hours and living with her parents who will not allow me to visit my 10 month old. I've done everything to cooperate and we agreed on days to meet for visitation but she is no longer showing up always coming up with excuses as well as refusing to answer the phone for me to check on him or to check if she is even coming. She's even saying no to letting me take him to the park or have any time alone with him, implies that I'm a bad father for being out of work and sometimes going out for a drink, something she still does. I have recently lost my job but need to establish paternity and am wondering should I wait until I am working full time again to file for visitation or just go ahead and do it. I am getting increasingly frustrated and losing sleep thus the reason for losing the job. I don't want to get screwed on my time bc of the situation. I do have help from family and child support won't be a problem.
A: If you are out of work you are still entitled to time sharing. File a motion for contempt if she is jerking you around. Use of a lawyer is recommended.
