Ignoring court order

Looking for advice. My child's mom will not give me my son on my scheduled weekends. What should I do? We can't communicate and always end up arguing on who gets him and when. How should we handle this?

Pasta: What state do you live in?

Is there already a court order for visitations? If she is refusing to let your child go with you on the days specified in your court order the only thing you really need to do is file her in contempt of court!

If you have court ordered visitation and she is not allowing you to have him, then she is in contempt of court. You will have to drag her arse back to court. She will get her arse yelled at by the judge, and warned to never come in between the visitations again. If visitation isn't completely spelling out in the order now, have it changed so that it is. Then, go by the court order always. If you are suppose to be there at 7pm every other weekend, then you show up at that exact time and take the child regardless if she has plans or whatnot. That is your right, and she should never try and come in between that. If she does it again, and you have to take her into court again, you can file for a change of custody on behalf of her actions. Right now, I suggest you write her a letter, send it certified. State in this letter that from now on you will be excercising every one of your court ordered vistiations and if she comes between any of them without prior approval from you, you will take her to court for being "in contempt" of a court order. Good luck!

How many times does she have to be in contempt of court until something can be done about it? And, what exactly can be done?

It takes one time, from my understanding, and she is held in contempt of court. I would file for comtempt right away, don't let her get away with you not seeing your child any longer. Go to the county clerk office, where you originally had your visitation order processed, and file there. At that point she will have to answer to the judge as to why she's not giving you any visitations. Good Luck!
