Q: Open show cause case already and custodial parent still breaking visitation order, upcoming court date. What to do?
Visitation order in place but custodial will not follow, there is a current open show cause case to be heard next week. But she didn't follow order again for this holiday. Do I file another show cause or just discuss it at hearing next week with judge.
A: Whether the judge will be willing to listen to multiple instances of violation of the same order under one show cause depends largely on the JDR judge you are dealing with. Some are more open than others to listening to everything. Consult a local lawyer familiar with your judge.
