A:
You need to file a Request for Orders to modify the current court orders and write a very detailed declaration with your request outlining what is occurring and how your request modified court orders are in your daughters best interest. In your declaration you will want to focus on the issues that you are having co-parenting with your child's father, the issues that his wife is causing, the change in your daughter's demeanor not having you around as much, your issues with phone calls and receiving vital information about your daughter. You will then need to focus on why changing the court orders will benefit your daughter and how.
Once you file the court request you will need to attend mediation and then your court date to ask the judge to modify the court orders. If you have any other questions or need assistance please do not hesitate to contact me to see if I can be of assistance.
