Re: child support

If you want to see your child, then you need a court order that orders the person with custody of the child to let you see the child.

If you have a valid court order, and there have been no other legal proceedings you might be able to file contempt on mom for not letting you see the child.

You need a certified copy of the latest legal document (it might be your final divorce decree) and if the aunt does not have legal custody signed by a judge, then mom can be held in contempt of court.
