Legal Question in Family Law in California

Trying to get ex to commit to a fromal parenting plan

My ex-wife and I got divorced in Jan 2001 in Orange County, CA. She has primary custody of our son (5 year old in 2001). Despite the MSA stating we would work out a detailed parenting plan after 18 months, she has refused to do so. As a result, I get to visit my son whenever she thinks it is convenient for her. This has made things very difficult especially since I moved to Idaho in 2005. What do I need to do to get a formal parenting plan ordered by the court? She has filed for a motion (hearing set for June 22) to move the jurisdiction to San Diego County, where she currently resides.

Re: Trying to get ex to commit to a fromal parenting plan

Aggressively assert your position that it is in the best interest of the child to have a close relationship with his father. The fact that the mother refused regular visitation will be weighed against her. File for custody as a companion matter. Get represented. I have 19 years experience helping fathers gain custody or 50% time share with their children. Contact me directly via telephone or e-mail at your earliest opportunity. 1.619.222.3504.
