Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Hi, I have a question can you help me please? I am seeking advice on child custody? My ex husband and I have joint custody for our three children. He is the custodial parent and I am the non custodial parent. I have visitations, but he is not allowing me to see or talk to my children. I have spoken to many people and I have been told I need to take him back to court for contempt of court. I don not have the money to take him to court but I miss my children very much. What is there that I can do to get to see or even talk to my children.

Yes, you need to take him to court for contempt. There is no other way unless you want to retain an attorney to write a letter to him notifying him of his contempt. This may push him into following the court order. My fee for writing such a letter is $250. However, there is no guarantee that the letter will bring results. Nevertheless, it will be evidence of his willful contempt. This letter can be used in future court cases.

The alternative is to handle the matter yourself or check with a pro bono legal service. Check with your county bar association. If you don't qualify, you'll have to file the contempt petition yourself.
