Q: In Colorado, I signed form for wife to take kids to CA, but now she won't allow me any contact. what can I do? Div final
I felt it was what was best at the time (I did not have a place to live) and an agreement was made that I could see and talk to kids. Divorce is final (per her) I am trying to get copies. She refuses to allow me to visit, or even talk to the kids. Is it too late to do anything?
A: Initially, this will depend on what the divorce decree says about this. Also, you may be able to request a modification if you are not satisfied with those provisions. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. An attorney would have to review your decree and see what provisions are for contact with the children. If she is not allowing you permitted contact, you could file a motion to enforce. The motion should be filed in the home state of the children. Depending on how long the children have been in California, you may well have to file there and would need to speak with an attorney in California.
