Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have been to court and have an order in affect since 2006 which gives me joint custody of my son who lives in Ca. I currently live in Utah. In that order I am suppose to get my son on holidays and over summer break. I havent been allowed to see him since the summer of 2008. They said my only option is to fly to Ca to file court documents. I don't have the money to do so right now. What other options do I have that are affordable. Can my ex be in trouble for breaking this court order?

You can file by mail or hire an attorney in California to file for you, then you can appear telephonically. My office handles issues like these.
What you need to do is file what is called an OSC re: Contempt. Your ex should be in a LOT of trouble for breaking the order, but you need to bring it to the court's attention. The court doesn't just know. The OSC re:contempt is the process for bringing contempt of an order to the court's attention. Eventually, however, you will have to come to CA and testify.
