Q: Do we file contempt for not being allowed any contact with our kids or do we file for visitation first?
Maternal grandmother has legal custody. At the court hearings on the stand she said she wanted the kids to see us and that she'd allow supervised visits for now but we'd need to set it up ect. The court order just left it as a general reasonable visitation and stated they didn't feel my mom would interfere with any parenting time. The day she got custody she cut us off won't allow any contact won't agree to do mediation won't speak to visitation centers I've found. She's moved out of state without notifying the court or us. Would contempt be the most suitable filing?
A: File both. The contempt should seek as a sanction that she return to Ohio. The court will not be happy that she left the jurisdiction.
