A: If you have a court document that says the time is yours then go get the child. If the father refuses you can return to court to enforce the agreement. Although it is a last resort, you can also try to get the police involved. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
A: If you possess a court order granting you primary custody, you have the option to file a Motion for Civil Contempt/Enforcement. It's advisable to consult with a local attorney to review the precise details of your case. This will assist in determining whether alternative options may be viable. Best of luck with everything.
