Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Is the father of my children violating the judgement order?
My husband has custody of our 2 children he has had babysitters and has refused to give me any information and I haven't seen or talked to the kids in over five days though I have left a message once a day requesting to.
My judgement reads:
Ordered that the parties shall each be entitled to receive,directly from the sources,copies of any and all school reports,notices,medical,and dental records in connection with any matters relating to the children's health, religious instruction, education, and day care;and it is further ordered that both parties will be permitted to attend and participate in all of the children's school and extracurricular activities, as well as attend parent/teacher conferences and consult with any person involved in any aspect of child's care; and it is further ordered that father and mother shall promply inform each other with respect to any significant illness or accident of either child; and it is further ordered both parties shall notify the other party reguarding the address and telephone number where the children can be reached at that party's home.

If you feel that he is in violation, you may seek enforcement or modification by filing a petition in the Family Court.
What did your ex say when you asked him for an explanation? I would want to know more about what is going on before giving you any advice. I do not wish to be like the nine blind men and the Elephant, where each had a different perception of the beast. Suggest you have an indepth consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney.
