Legal Question in Family Law in California
Post mediation agreement antics
My ex-husband and i recently signed an agreement in mediation that agreed to our children visiting me out of state on a regular basis. He is now looking for any loophole to try to avoid them coming even though they want to, and is now threatening to go to court as ''it is not working out for HIM.'' He is also having his girlfriend and neighbors antagonize me when I pick up our children for visits & at their sports games. Isn't a signed mediation agreement binding and what can I do to make him stop causing problems? Greatly appreciatite your reply.

Re: Post mediation agreement antics
Your situation gives rise to a few different issues.
1. If the mediation agreement is signed by the judge, your ex is currently in violation of a court order, and can be held in contempt.
2. Either of you can return to the court and ask the court to modify the current arrangement at anytime. It sounds like he may be getting ready to do that.
3. When 1 parent frustrates peaceful visitation, or interferes with the visitation agreement, that parent may lose their visitation by court order. What this means is you may be able to change the custody and visitation arrangement to your benefit based on his behavior.
4. If 3rd parties are harrassing you or interfering with your visitation you may be able to obtain restraining orders against them.
There are alot of issues here, please seek the assistance of an attorney. My office would be happy to assit you.
