Q: my ex is keeping my kids from me against the court order! I have filed contempt charges several times & nothing happens
My ex has reported me as a suspect of a dbl homide, I was investigated and cleared, she has continued to contact police departments to have them harass me, she has been stalking me to find where I move to in order to send police to my home! I have move 3 times and every time with in one to two weeks, the police are at my door. I am afraid that I may be shot leaving my home with my cellphone in my hands? These are just tactics to prevent me from seeing my children! What can I do to stop her and what can I do to force her hand to allow my court ordered visitations?
A: You need to hire a child custody lawyer ASAP. If your ex is continuing to make false accusations and uses those accusations to prevent you from seeing your children against the court order but you cannot make a contempt charge stick then you need professional advice to figure out what is going wrong. Parents do not get to unilaterally decide to withhold visitation or custody rights.
