there is a court order for him to see him and he does have a court appointed attorney this is his 6th attorney he has had within the last 3 or 4 times we have been to court over visitations.idon't know why they will not do anything and his lawyer supposedly said to him that i was in contempt of court for the visitations have no idea. i talked to him today about his son being in the ER for mono asked him about paying for half he said he would work on it. then he says do i get him on 11-14-01 and i said no because he is sick and he hung up to go and call his lawyer. there's plenty more to say, but it would take to long.

i have stuck to the court order and documented everything, but its like it doesn't matter for instance, me and my boyfriend have lived together 4yrs and he has been supporting him plus other 2 children i told the court about him and they didn't want to hear it. i live in dallas,tx. i know there has to be something that i can do to prevent him from causing so much trouble. when he has had him he doesn't do anything with him his sister and her wife will do something with him but not much of anything and his mom doesn't care anything about my son. i had a lawyer i paid $500 to get his rights tooken away she said ok, but when i went to court they were more on his side even my lawyer and the 2 lawyers said he did everything that he was supposed to and i was to get a copy of the parenting class i guess he took, but never did. i would like to know if there is anything that i could possibly do.
thanks
LegalBeagle said:Until he files something, all you can do is document everything and ensure you stick to the court order. Documentation is the key to a successful defense.
All you can do is object to his objection and argue against his reason for the objection. You are in a messy situation since money is no object for your ex and she is obviously instructing council to object to everything. How did the hearing go?jyoung said:
Hello Beagle, in re. your statement, I have found it difficult on several occasions, most recently in an October hearing to introduce as evidence documentation including letters to and from my opposing counsel and history of visitation records. Every
advice book says to document but is there a trick for a pro se to get this stuff admitted properly without enduring countless objections from the opposing counsel?
