Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My 15 year old daughter refuses to come for her weekend visits with me and her brother. Visits are court ordered and her father allows her to not come and often refuses to bring her. What can I do to stop this parent alienation? She is rude and hateful to me and prefers her father because he buys her everything she wants and allows her to make decisions on curfew/etc. I feel my daughter and her brother not to mention myself will never have a relationship or family life due to his constant refusal to allow me my visitation with her. I cannot afford to go to court but wonder if coming up with a detailed parenting plan for volatile relationships between he and I would allow me to have a back up with a binding effect or if this is another piece of paper that is just a waste of time and not enforcable. We cannot agree on anything and I always bend or loose my visits but he has never been denied or lost time with my son who I have custody of. Can I not show how often he denies me but that I have never denied him?

If you can't/won't go to court, there is little advice that can be given that will accomplish anything. I urge you to sit down with an attorney in your community and discuss costs, alternate payment arrangements, and programs available in your community to help you.

Good luck.
