Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

There's a big difference between joint legal custody and joint physical custody. You don't say which.

Law enforcement can, but probably will not, help you enforce your court order (if you bring a certified copy with you and if it is, in fact, your weekend). It depends on which department is involved, but the cops usually take the position that there only job is to keep the peace.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
