Q: Hi and thank you for your help. My ex-husband has sole custody and has kept my 2 girl (7 & 11 yo) for over a month now.
He has taken away 4 visitation days and will not have any communication with me at all. My question is can I have him arrested for kidnapping when it is my visitation time and he refuses to not let me have time. We do have court documents that state whose date it is but he will not go by the court document. There is absolutely no reason for him to do this. There is no foul play or anything odd. Just a mother who wants to see her children. Thank you
A: If there is no set placement schedule, but there is still an Order in effect, you should file a Petition to Enforce Placement. The Court is required to schedule a hearing within thirty days of the date of filing the Petition. If there is no set schedule at this time, the Court may Order one and find him in contempt for interfering with your placement.
