Q: My visitation with my children is not being honored. My complaint to the police went nowhere.
What can I do about her demands for money? She is letting me see them this weekend for the first time in two months but only if I send her 200$ cash. I think that’s horrible and my twin daughters are calling me everyday asking why I can’t pay mom more money so that they can come see me. How can I get this to stop without another series of court dates that give me dates that I can have them that mean nothing because she will just not allow me to again. The police will not help me even if I show them that it is court ordered to pick them up!? They say that it’s a civil matter and I need to take her to court again. Ugh!!! I am not able to afford this as I have already given her the house and the car that I bought and paid for. I left with nothing. This is wrong on so many levels and the system is absolutely broken when it comes to a fathers rights where children are concerned.
A: You will have to take her back to court. The legal system is not self actuating and you have to bring a petition for family access and motion to modify to would likely be in order too. You need to speak to a family attorney.
