A Father's Rights

I have an 8 yr old son.His mom and him recently moved to California,a few months ago. I had to get the visitation papers amended once already before they left to hopefully insure my rights to see my son. His mother and I don't get along good. I bought my son a computer so that we could e-mail each other. When his mom gets mad at me, she will not answer the phone when I call. No one will. I have'nt spoken to my son in two weeks because of this. My e-mails go unanswered, yet she e-mailed my mother yesterday saying that I had sent her a threatening e-mail(which is totally un true).So I know at least that they are recieving my e-mails. My son was to fly over this summer to spend time with me in Florida where my mother lives. His mother e-mailed my mom and told her that because I sent her that e-mail that she wasn't going to let my son come and visit. She will not answer the phone so I can talk to my son and now she said that she wasn't going to let him come visit. Are these court papers that I have any good? Does she have control of when I can talk and even see my son, based on how she may feel about me at the time? If I take her back to court(I'm going to) what can I do to let her know that the papers mean something for the father?

Re: A Father's Rights

If she's violating the visitation order, you can have punished for acting in contempt of court. Also, because of the changed circumstances, you can seek a change in the visitation order.
