More details to this question:
I am dealing with a case of severe parental alienation and a father who refuses to comply with the court order in Utah 30-5-35. He recently attempted 3 times to get a TRO against me using the death of my infant son as the reason. He has multiple charges of contempt and has denied parent time on at least 10 occasions. I am not sure what to file. Do I first file a order to show cause or just a motion to modify the current order. Do I file both?

I am sincerely sorry to hear of your predicament. But before I can even provide any ideas as to how to proceed I'd need to review your file and all of the orders. What you really need to do is get with an assertive family law attorney and make a long-range plan for success; a plan that may include an order to show cause in re contempt and a petition to modify. For background on such severe custodial interference you can review my websitehttp://www.hartwig-law.com/Family-Law/Custody-Visitation-Parent-Time.shtml, my blogs http://www.hartwig-law.com/blog/, and my recent State Bar Journal article, https://www.utahbar.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/May_Jun_2017_FINAL.pdf, starting at page 18.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I off an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office; if you are outside of the Salt Lake area, we can handle all of this by phone.
Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect your children.
