Q: My son pays child support to ex girlfriend for his 6 yr old daughter. My son id supposed to get his daughter fri-sun
He has only been able to get her like 5 hrs on Sunday, hes been allowed to keep her overnight only 2x. The mom always has excuses. She got married 4/5, and the daughter doesnt like the guy, and tells my son the he yells and hit her mommy. Two weeks ago she nmoved eith her new husband from a trailer and into a rental house, The daughter told my son that she lives with her mom's mom not her mom. Her isnt the best roll model, she makes a career of scaming people. No one except the new husband works. My son pays 600.00 a month. What steps should he take to get custody? The lawyer we had 3 years ago no longer lives in NE, and my son doesnt have much money after c.s. is paid.
A: If a parent is granted court-ordered parenting time and the other parent is denying it, then the most common way to enforce the parenting time is to file a contempt action. To modify the custody order, the most common method is to file a complaint to modify action. This modification action has a number of steps to it, including a required parenting class, an attempt at mediation, and often the exchange of discovery documents. Sometimes it makes the most sense to file both a contempt and a modification action at the same time.
