What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
I asked Commissioner prior to trial during a harassment hearing I was trying to get on ex about bringing contempt before the court. Commissioner told me I was not to bring anything before the court until trial. Therefore I filed nothing. I was scared to file anything as Commissioner's orders were no. At trial I was prepared to bring up contempt. I was prepared to go down and file it as well. Judge told me no. Judge said Commissioner may have thought it could be part of the trial but it was her decision and she wasn't going to hear it. Well come to find out that since trial and new parenting plan ordered that any contempt prior I cannot bring before the court. I have shown a clear pattern of refusing my visitation rights and not allowing visit after visit. I would think this is a violation of my due process? Is it possible to have the contempt heard with new contempt since due process was violated or am I just out of luck on old contempt?
