Broken custody by ex wife?

Question

What do I do if my ex wife is breaking our custody agreement arranged by the courts? I am supposed to get my daughter half of the time, we are to split holidays, she is to make accomodations for me to see my daughter. She has done none of this. I have called her, and texted and emailed her and nothing. She calls my parents and says you can come get devin(MY DAUGHTER) at 8am and bring her back at 4pm i need a babysitter. Those aren't the stipulations of our custody agreement. Also she is living with another man, she is using my daughter against me. When my mom calls to see if we can have her for the weekend she blows us off for two weeks without any contact, then out of the blue she'll call and say pick devin up at 8am at my work and bring her back at 4pm at my work. Should I file apers at the court to take her back to court to gain sole custody? We already went once and I won the case, I agreed to joint custody and I would pay child support. The judge thought it was very admirable of me to offer this, and he told her she was immature and irresponsible for the things she was telling the courts without proof and it was just badgering her said. She was tyring to belittle me and embaass me rather than gain custody. Anyway, should I go back to the courts and try for sole custody?

Answer 1

Wow,

you seem like a great dad,

but uh h**l yes!

like that's pretty much messed up on many levels,

you should really try to meet up with

your ex and talk everything out,

but if she says no then go to court,

your pretty much sure to win if the story goes as you tell it..

good luck

Answer 2

Yes go back to the courts because she is breaking the law.

Answer 3

She isn't playing by the rules set by the court, so she is in contempt.

You certainly don't need to be paying for child support if it is just being spent for her to party-down.

Under the circumstances, I certainly would take back custody, and then have your ex's visitation limited to "supervised only" there at the courthouse, so you won't have to deal with her. You drop the kid off at the courthouse at the appointed time and your ex gets to spend a little money to pay for the supervising officer's time so she can sit and play with the kid for a few hours. A lock-down like that would probably turn your ex's behavior around.

Answer 4

The best thing you can do for your case is to document EVERYTHING. Every time you call or text or your parents call her write down the dates and times. If there are court papers saying you have certain days/ times you have her you can show up at your ex's door and demand to have your daughter and she calls the police she can be charged with contempt of court. I would take her back to court if she is not abideing by what the court ordered. But be sure you're doing this to get time with your daughter not just to fight with the ex. Sounds like you've got a pretty good case.
