We have a court order. My ex is refusing to return my son during what is rightfully my time. If my ex isn’t with my son, can I get him?
A: You should speak directly with an attorney. Because we cannot advise you to simply go pick up the child without knowing where and from whom, as the situation could pose a danger. You could involve the police and have them meet you to pick up the minor child with a copy of your court order. But normally when a parent is in violation of an order the other party files an action for contempt of court. But you should provide an attorney with more details so they can give you more accurate advice on how to handle the situation.
