My wife left with my daughter last September. We are not divorced yet but she says I can not see her without being supervised. Also every time she wants to set up a visit it is concierge for her only or if she is wanting something.
You need to get a family law attorney and go to court to get orders specifying when, where and how long you and her get to see your children. That way if it is “your time” and she refuses you can seek enforcement from the court, which can include jail time for her.
When the child turns 18. Good luck. 888-343-4529.

Address. Do we have to give it to her or can we just provide it to the courts
It depends on what your court order says. If the court order says that it was to be provided and you don't want to provide it then you need to get court order modifying that provision so that it no longer has to be provided. But, you must give judge a justifiable reason and provide proof.

You should provide your... Read more »
