Q: My daughters father is completely going against the judgment entered for visitation custody and child support.
He kept her over night last night on a no over night order. His visits are from 10am-6:30pm on sundays. Due to the fact that I have not gone outside of the court order to his convenience, he pulled this move. He is not paying his ordered child support. He is trying everything he can to give me a hard time. Our original hearings have been in boston,MA. I cannot make it to Boston to figure out from the court what I should do. My question is what can I and should I do?
A: This sounds like he is in Contempt and normally you would need to appear on the return date of the Contempt. The DOR would handle financial Contempt but not the custody/visitation issues. It is worthwhile to get to Suffolk Probate.

In order to seek help from the Family Court you must appear in person.You may only seek help in the court you started in and got your divorce.
