Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

denial of visit

My ex-girlfriend has physical custody and we share legal custody of our 4-year old son. New Hampshire courts let her move home to Minnesota and the court set up a visitation arrangement. We subsequently modified that agreement in Minnesota through mediation, but never submitted our changes to a court. Now she is suddenly denying my right to the September visit and has offered to go back to mediation. This process may take awhile and I wonder if I can enforce the visit through filing contempt changes against her. Can I do that? If so, in which state?

Re: denial of visit

Minnesota would be the State. You need to get the mediated agreement reduced to a Court Order. Was the agreement with the mediator done in writing or will the mediator put it in writing now? If so, we can ask that the agreement be adopted by the Court and then try to enforce the Court Order. Since September has passed, we will need to get you some make-up visit as well.
