Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Tort options?
My exwife has denied me visitation with my children since January 06. Last month I finally filed a motion for contempt/enforcement, but I have little faith in the family court system at this point. Are there tort options available to me in Florida regarding interferrance with visitation?

No. If you have been awarded visitation in a Family Court order, you must proceed visitation rights against your ex-wife in Family Court.

I have heard of tortious interference with a business relationship (civil) and (criminal) interference with child custody, but not anything with regard to visitation. Contempt is the enforcement tool here.
