I divorced my wife in May 2007.We presently live and own a home in New Jersey. We made agreement upon our divorce to keep the home and i would cont. to pay mortgage in leiu of child support reason being i didnt want my children bouncing around from place to place, and besides thats were they love to stay(kids). Theres a order we have joint custody of our two children ages 5 and 10. My ex has primary residential, and i have secondary residential custody. We have a court order about visitation. I get the kids every other weekend and a day during the week for dinner plus were suppose alternate all the holidays and i have 2 non conset. vacation time during the year. Now my problem is that im suppose to pic my kids up at 7am on sat morning. Problem is, at times i dont get them until 430pm and at times even 7pm Sat night. There were a couple of times when i didnt get the kids at all for my weekend to have them,.This been going on for 2 YEARS. And even with these past holidays(thanksgiving and christmas). Christmas weeks the kids are out of school for the winter break, she gets the first week and i get the second week but i never do. Im always in conflick with her about my visition but she blows me off saying that she can do wat she wants cause shes the mother. Plus im to have unlimited phone time with my kids, my ex-wife dont let them talk to me when i call she pic up n hangs up the phone. i ask my kids did u hear me calling on the phone and their responce is mommy said we cant talk to you.

You should call me Saturday morning.
Call me if you like.
You will need to file a Motion, either on your own or with an attorney, to have your time enforced. It is a simple as that. A Judge will enforce what is in place.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have
provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one
can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have any questions whatsoever, you should meet with an attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
Don't assume you cannot afford an attorney, call one/all of the attorneys that answered your question and see how much they would charge you. Some of us also take credit cards.
