Can she do thisand get away with it!!???? exjiggly: My future exwife (divorce filed by her and she's the one that cheated) and I and our 5 year old daughter still live in the same house (military housing) in Connecticut. The are 11 divorce degrees that we have to abide by plus there is a special one put in by the court that says that one of us has to be out of the house for 2 evenings week a peice and not to deny access to our daughter for the other at our home. I am at home trying to call her on her cell phone and she won't return my calls. The last time I tried her friend picked up and told me to stop calling and I couldn't talk to my daughter. She has taken our daughter out of the home for over 29 hours and has not let me talk or see my daughter. How can she get away with this????? I called the police and they said that they can't do anything about it. What can I do to stop her from doing this kinda stuff????? With her behaving like this, can this help me get physical custody????
Any help or advice will be appreciated

Re:Can she do thisand get away with it!!???? nikichantal: Hey sweetie you must FILE a contempt action to enforce your visitation rights.
What is contempt of court?
When a person willfully and deliberately violates a court order without a legally sufficient excuse (such as impossibility) the person is said to be in contempt of court. Unless you have no court paper yet?
Connecticut courts recently eliminated the fee for filing a motion for contempt.
Keep good records and testify about the accuracy of your record keeping.

Good luck

Re:Can she do thisand get away with it!!???? Buffalo Bill: I can only speak from my personal experience: "your screwed." If you cross the line and show the court contempt (by not paying support or annoying your ex) you'll find yourself in jail or with a restraining order. If she is found in contempt of court - well, she was naughty and the court will remind her to be nice. It might just be a head shake, or maybe you'll get a judge that will yell at her. In the end, it won't matter. You might have to go through this a dozen times to show a pattern of contempt, and even then you may only see a minor adjustment. Don't get me wrong. What's going on sucks, is putting your child in the middle, and indicates an unstable, selfish mother. However, judges are just lawyers in fancier robes who sit at a superior height to wield their opinion of right with might. And what they "typically" prefer to see is an alternating weekend dad with a checkbook minding his own business.
