A: without knowing a lot more about your situation and seeing the actual paperwork that you were served with it would be impossible for any attorney to answer your question. You need to meet with a family law attorney in your jurisdiction to discuss all of your options and analyze your situation.

A: Yes, you can be sued for court ordered visitation in order to settle the rights of each party by court order.

At the hearing on that motion or suit you'll have the right to present your text evidence and to show the judge you've been acting in good faith and are therefore a fit parent to exercise primary custody.

A: If you have been served - then it is fairly obvious that you can in fact be sued. You have 30 days from the date you were served to respond. Go consult with a family law attorney ASAP.
