You have a right to be in your child's life and to see and send time with him without interference during those times that the Court has awarded to you in your Court Order. If that Order is not being followed, then you have the right to bring the child's mother back before the Court that issued the Order in an action called contempt. The Court (that issued the Order) has the right to enforce the terms of its Order and to issue any other sanctions (or punishment) that the Court deems is appropriate under the circumstances including but not limited to, perhaps, a monetary fine or incarceration. It is recommended that you keep a journal or log and document all of those dates and times when the Order of Court is not being followed and you are being denied time with your son. It is recommended that you retain legal counsel to assist you. If you bring an action for contempt, it will require a hearing before the Court and the rules of Court shall apply. You may be at a disadvantage if you do not know or follow the rules of Court.
