Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

May the defendant contact the plaintiff's attorney? The plaintiff hired an attorney and the defendant went pro se. The judge told the plaintiff's attorney he had 30 days to come up with a new visitation schedule that both parties will agree to. The plaintiff decided to start the new schedule immediately after the case that was not agreed upon yet. What should the defendant do? Call the plaintiff's attorney and explain or call the police?

The police obviously have nothing to do with a civil case. Unless the defendant doesn't care about his kids he hires a lawyer.

Not sure what you think the police would do. If you are not represented you can contact the opposing party's attorney. Since children are involved you should not proceed unrepresented.
