Legal Question in Family Law in California
contract in breach for joint custody
Hello,
My ex wife and I have been through
the court system and have filed joint
physical custody and joint legal
custody. My ex wife is now trying to
control when I see our two year old
daughter and insists that they be
supervised. I have caused no harm to
my daughter. How can I fight this?
What are the steps I have to take?
She's breached the contract.

Re: contract in breach for joint custody
you need to file a response. if she violated the court's order you might want to consider bringing a contempt action against her.
Re: contract in breach for joint custody
You absolutely can and should fight this. She needs to understand that joint custody means just that, there is nothing that gives her control. The child needs both parents. You need to file a motion to modify the order and set a child sharing schedule. I suggest that you get an attorney this time, I think you will be happier with the outcome and the stability for the child will be improved. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
