Re: Do I send my son on the court ordered visitation?

You must comply with court orders. You may consider filing a request for an emergency hearing with the court; however, unless you have reasons that are contrary to the "best interests" of your child, you may have a hard time. Even worse, basically, this is around the corner and you will be short on time to be prepared for a hearing. Just be sure to provide as much documentation and proof, not just accusations, of your concerns as you can.

I would be happy to discuss the issues more in-depth with you by phone or in-person. There is too much to cover via e-mail though I have provided you with the major points. Call me for a free � hour consultation if you would like to discuss the matter in more detail.

You can call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my legal assistant, Brenda, (602) 255-0333, to schedule a free � hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
