A: Mail the payment with tracking. If she refuses to cash the payment, that's on her. If she is denying him visitation, he can file a contempt to enforce his visitation rights.

A: File a contempt action. The biggest concern here is that she is denying him court ordered visitation. You will need to speak with an attorney regarding this violation. Please consult with a local attorney. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
