Q: What can I do if my mom is not following court orders?
My mom has temp. Custody of my son. I have visitation rights through the court which consists of 2 days a week, 4 hours each visit. I beg her every single day to see him but she always comes up with an excuse. I'll be lucky if I get to see him once a week. I've applied for an attorney through legal aid and I'm just waiting on a letter in the mail but I'm wondering if I could go ahead and file a motion for contempt through the court on my own?
A: I cant tell from your question if your case is in juvenile court or family court. You need a consultation with an attorney to provide more information.
A: If she is not complying with a court order granting you visitation, she may be in contempt. Your remedy would be to file a Rule for Contempt. An attorney can help you do this, and you should consult one for this issue.
