Let me preface my comments with I know that no one can predict how a judge will rule. But, my DH has documentation of four instances, since the ink became dry on the last court order in Jan 2003, when his X denied visitation. 1) She denied to allow me (his wife, but fiancee' at the time) to pick up the children when his work schedule prevented him from meeting her. 2) She denied Father's Day weekend, even though he sent her a letter that was returned as unclaimed, then followed up with an email which wasn't responded to. He followed up with a phone call the Thursday before Father's Day weekend and she told him that he could only have Father's Day. Of course, the CO reads that parties should attempt to adjust visitation to allow the father to have the children for the entire weekend. 3) She denied their attendance at our wedding this year, even though he asked her five months in advance if he could switch weekends so they could attend. 4) She denied visitation when she claimed she wasn't notified. DH sent her an email, which was an acceptable practice before, but she claimed on the day of the required exchange that she discontinued her email.
Our evidence: 1) A recent voicemail that she left that explained that I can now pick up the children solo since I am the wife. She admitted she denied earlier in the year because we were not yet married. We have letters that she had me sign prior to their last court hearing that acknowledge that she had given me permission to pick the children up solo from her residence. The last court order banned her from requiring letters to be signed at each visitation (I felt like I was picking up UPS packages, not children). 2) Unclaimed certified letter, email that we sent, and a letter that she sent to us explaining that she did not deny Father's Day and that both parties (DH and X) had to agree to allow the full weekend. She stated that my DH was telling her what to do and that he had no right to. 3.) A letter that explained that we should have planned our wedding for his weekend visitation and she was not going to switch it for his convenience. Of course, the wedding date was planned way in advance of their last court hearing. 4) Our outgoing email to her, an outgoing email to her email account and a ficticious email account -- received an undeliverable message for the fake account, hardcopy of their family website and user profile which showed that they updated their webpage and user account after the date she claimed she no longer had email, and a recorded conversation where she told my DH that she wasn't notified, that he had to call (which is not in the CO), and that she didn't have to tell him "sh**" when he asked her why she didn't tell him that she was discontinuing her email. Plus, she acknowledge during the conversation that she was aware that I had mentioned to the youngest child about a special event planned for the weekend.
With this much evidence, I am hopeful that she will be found in contempt of court. From personal experiences (and legal opinions), what is the likelihood?
