Legal Question in Family Law in California

visitation interferance

My ex recently moved to Lake Elsinore from Orange County. Her mother lived in Orange County also. My court papers say that I pick her up every other Friday from her mother's house in Orange at 7 p.m. with 30 minute grace period. Her mother moved with her to Lake Elsinore. My problem is this. The court papers do not specify her mother's address in Orange County. I could not possibly make it to Lake Elsinore from work by 7:30 p.m. yesterday. When I finally got a hold of my ex around 7 p.m. via phone, she told me that I could not see my daughter this weekend because I could not make it to Lake Elsinore by 7:30 p.m. Is she in violation of any court orders by denying me visitation? Please help. Thank you.

In a general sense, you have to abide by the court order or seek a modification due to the changed circumstances.

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!

You should retain the services of a competent family law attorney to file the necessary moving papers with the court to have custody modified/changed, based upon changed circumstances and the other's unilateral change of the child's address.
