Legal Question in Family Law in California

Ex in violation of visitations

I know my ex husband is in violation of family court rule. How do I go about getting my visitation rights enforced, in Pro Per and have no funds for legal concil, as well as the court ordering my ex husband to comply. It is my experience and others that our Family Law court does'nt enforce the orders they have imposed. It is my belief that if you want any action Pro Per isn't a option. And I am aware of our family law facilitator her name is Jane Burton. I need more than just your standard advice; ie.. seek the advice of legal council, facilitator etc... I am unfortunately stuck in Pro Per status. I was under the impression that our court system wanted whats best for the children? Tell me how then the courts are allowing one parent to get away with estranging our children from their children based on false accusations, personal life problems, financial endevors, etc.. Our children dont care about these things and definately do not understand ''Im so sorry baby I was in Pro Per''...Is their any advice for these discrimitative endevores? I just want to see our daughter and she is yearning for her Mom! In most of these cases the concern is not for the child its either revenge, money, control, etc.. that has motivated the other party.

Re: Ex in violation of visitations

I might suggest that you file a motion to change custody of the child to give you sole legal custody. Another possible solution that you may try first is to ask local law enforcement if they will assist you in picking up your child for visitation. To do that you must have specific times set out in the order. Also, if you have an order that you pick up the child from school or daycare, you will not need to deal with his refusal. Those are just some ideas that may work. Of course an experienced attorney could help enforce of modify the order because he can obtain more facts from you and help you form an order that will work. The court can make an order but the court cannot pick up the child for you. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
