Legal Question in Family Law in California
Out of State Visitation
My husband and I relocated to Ohio in 2000 from California. He has a child from a past relationship in which he pays support and has a court ordered visitation schedule. Since we have moved to another state his ex is not allowing his daughter to visit her father since we are in Ohio. I was wondering if she is required to allow the child to come visit, and if so what do we need to do to enforce this?

In a general sense, you may have to return to the California Court to request a modification of the parenting plan to take into account the geographic issues caused by the move.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Contact the court where the visitation order was made. Ask about their procedure for mediation of custody and visitation. Many family court systems will allow you to set up for mediation or other procedures required. You may be able to resolve the issue without any further action. If you are unable to resolve the visitation issue at meediation then you can then file a motion or motion to modify the visitation order.
