A: Your post just tugged at my heartstrings. Parents who do this hurt their own kids. I couldn’t imagine not being able to see a child of mine for over 1 month let alone 1 year. CPS can not assert your rights. You have to do that. You can file motions and actions to get this resolved. If court orders sets out visitation and he is violating it you can file a motion for enforcement. If you need to change the terms of the order we would consider a motion to modify. Hope this helps.
