Sorry about that Frantic, i had to take kids to a baseball tourney..

As for your case.
I suggest that you gather phone records, get statements from the Dr, from the Principal at the childs school and gather them and all other evidence you have in your case. Go see an attorney, if you cannot find one or cannot afford one.. then call the District Clerk in the court District in the state the child is in (MN?) then pursue custody through that court. You really should have an attorney represent you as they will be able to question the Dr and the principal and pull things out that you have not had training to do. Have you tried the State Bar Assn? If not that would be my first move, see if they have a listing of attorneys that work pro bono. I wish there was more I could do to help you, I know it is frustrating, as my dear friend Stenny is having just about the same problems.. it isnt fair and it isnt right... and the ones being hurt are the children.

Thanks Ladyblu!

I understand what you are saying.I will check into that most definetly! Anyhow my question is..can my ex and his lawyer deny court ordered visitation?
This hasnt gone to court yet..but my ex's lawyer seems to think he has power. I mean if they deny me my next weekend (the 10-12th) can I file contempt charges? against my ex and his lawyer for interference?

Thanks again!

Yes, you have rights to visit your child as ordered by the court. They cannot say when and how often.. same applies for rights as mothers to visitation as to fathers.

Document and have the ex sign a statement as to why he is denying visitation if you can get him to, if not have a PD officer with you if you can, and have them write a statement that you were denied access to your child as ordered by the court.. Take any orders you have with you.

They will be found in contempt of court if you have documentation and witnesses to back it up..

Also, even if they tell you on the phone that you cannot exercise visitation, record it, if they dont but insinuate, go anyways.. will look better then saying no, I didnt even bother going because they said I couldnt..

If able to, I would write them also, both the atty and the ex and insert a copy of the court order for visitation and send it registered return receipt stating that you will be there at XX time on XX date to pick up your child as ordered by the court.
(Send a copy to the court clerk also)

Thanks again!

I did all of that and my ex's attorney said I can see my son only if I sign a document stating that I would give my son this medicine for adhd.I refused. He said then you can not see him..He also wrote a letter to that affect.
The attorney also reminded me that I have absolutely no rights and my ex can do as he pleases.

Jerks huh?
I am Enclosing a recent emial...I will delete my ex and my name...My sons name is replaced along with the doctors with -----, (Mind you, I have always wanted to see my son I just refuse to give him a pill he doesnt need my ex takes this as me not wanting to see him & my "boyfriend" will be my husband in 13 days)


(my name here),
You will NOT be picking ----- up the Thanksgiving holiday. If you will read
the custody arraingement clause pertaining to holiday visitation you will see
that he is to be here for this Thanksgiving, and no changes will be made now,
or in the future.
As to starting up normally scheduled visitation, I will consult with my
lawyer concerning this issue. Remember this, Dr ---- does NOT have anything
to do with this, it is MY right to have ---- continue his medication at all
times, as his father, and parent with custody I dont feel it is wise to have
his medication schedule flip flopped to suit your wishes. The important thing
is -----, and his state of mind and happiness; not yours as a non-custodial
parent. You have always put yourself and your wants ahead of -----, and I
will not allow this to effect him anymore. This is the reason I have again
retained my attourney and his team. I can not, and will not make any more
efforts to facilitate you and your wishes to alter the legal arraingments
made for any reason. The visitation schedule has not been followed by
yourself, and yet you expect me to allow you to see him when the schedule
clearly shows that I am not required to. There will be no more "special"
allowances made for ANY reason.
I will have my attorney notify you concerning your request for resuming
regularly scheduled visitation as soon as possible. Until then, you are to
assume that nothing is granted, due to my concerns about his welfare while in
your care. Again, I will be consulting with my attourney about this matter,
as it is MY decision whether----- will be on his medication on week-ends,
and NO one elses. Dr. ----- is presently ----- doctor, and prescribes his
medication, she does NOT make the decision as to him taking it on week-ends
or not.
Also, there will be no more drop-offs at school Monday mornings after
visitation. As required, drop-offs (assuming visitation is resumed) will be
at the Forest Lake Wal-Mart at 6:00 p.m. Sunday evenings.
As a suggestion, put Richies needs ahead of your own. That is what a parent
does, if they are a good parent. There is no indication that the Adderal is
having ANY ill effects on -----, and plenty of evidence to prove that it is
helping him abundantly. Your decision to not see ---- had, and has NO merit
in anyway, and has only hurt your relationship with him, surely even you can
see that. And the fact that you have allowed your boyfriend to influence
things, in even the slightest degree, as to your relationship, and visitation
with your son is inexcusable. It may be his house, but it is YOUR son: NOT
his.
As to your claim that Dr ----- told me that it was important that -----
sees his mother, it is not true. First of all, Dr ---- has very little
knowledge of the history in the last few years, only the barest of facts. You
putting words in her mouth is not only creating another falsehood on your
part, but just plain ridiculous and not worth any further consideration. I
have spoken to Dr. -----this morning (Saturday, 18th of November), and
during our conversation she stated that while it is not imperative that
----- be on his medication during every week-end it is up to me. If I feel
he should be taking his meds based on what I feel the situation calls for
then it IS proabably called for. As to you claim about her saying that it is
important that ----- sees you, in fact, she never said that, and stated she
has no opinion on that matter.
I am sending you this as, as you said in your E Mail to me, a courtesy. I am
not inclined at this point in any further correspondance with you, or any
conversations.
As I stated before, send any requests, questions or notices to my attorney.
My attourney will let you know about visitation, and any stipulations on
visitation asap.
