Q: Followup on my previous question, regarding my daughter trying to get custody or more visitation time.
She was granted attorneys fees of $5,000, but husband refuses to pay, charged with contempt, got an extension to pay, contempt charges filed again, pending. He was supposed to pay her a min amount for reestablishment, refused. She only gets sons on weekend, agreement is she has to take them to sporting events. Schedule is impossible, 1 son had 4 tourneys in 1 weekend, times this by 3 more boys. Her whole visitation is in the car or on sport fields. Husband is the coach, so he is always present. She and partner work full time, and they make 1/16th of his salary, but he sends her bills, the 50/50 for kids, she struggles to pay rent. Boys live w/him & his partner in house owned by his mother, in a trust, because that is school base. His money in shared account w/mother, always. He is corporate accountant but didn't pay taxes since separated to make wife responsible for 1/2 of taxes. He cashed out 401k & annuity, none to my daughter/wife. His mother clerk of courts retired.
A: She needs to continue to pursue the Contempt and sounds like there are more issues where a Contempt may lie, so try to obtain counsel!!
