A:
The language of the parenting plan controls your visitation with your kids. The ex's girlfriend does not get a say in your relationship with your children.
You need to document what is occurring. After you have some documentation, you can go to the Jackson County Courthouse and ask to speak with the family law clerk. Ask for the forms to enforce parenting time. The court should have an expedited procedure. Complete the paperwork, serve your ex, and then go to the hearing with your documentation.
Your ex is responsible as the parent of ensuring that you have a relationship with the children. His GF does not get to run interference. If the ex continues denying you video visits, your next step is to file a contempt action.
Good luck.
