Birmingham, AL asked in Family Law for Alabama

Q: Father has not met requirements set forth in custody order (for autistic child) prior to overnight visits.

Child is 2 yo autistic, father was instructed to meet several criteria in custody order prior to starting overnights. To date he has not done so. How can I report this and stop the overnights? Also, the "coordinator" (an atty) assigned to act as a co-parenting counselor was supposed to meet us monthly. She has not responded in months. How can I report this?

A: you will likely need to file a motion for contempt and ask the court to prevent any overnight visitation until the father meets the conditions previously set.
